Pluspunten
Few, if any positive reasons for someone to work for Arkema. Overall employee benefits are good. Arkema has an excellent Intranet for following all the various benefit programs
Minpunten
Arkema U.S is an under-staffed and an overworked organization. Every move or decision is micro-managed and/or over analyzed by France. The decision to move to King of Prussia was not a thoroughy anaylzed decision. Having two completely different benefit structures (U.S and French) is not a morale builder for employees. The employess are treated completely different then French expats in the U.S or employees working in France. Poor technology. Arkema is still using Windows 2000 The French employees fly First Class/Business on international trips and the American employees are required to fly coach.
