Pros

I worked at Kemira for 4 years. It is a decent place to work. There is an OK company environment/structure overall.

Cons

Managers make it hard to stay there long. I truly believe that if you are put in a position to manage another individual you should be thoroughly trained to do so. Kemira gives people 'manager' titles who have zero management experience or training and the employees working for these people are the ones who suffer. Hence the high turn-over rate. Also in the 4 years I worked at Kemira they had 2-3 different CEOs with different ideas on where the company should go in the future. It made it hard to buy into what any of them were saying because they'd be gone in a year or two.

Pros

The processes are some of the best and well aligned that I have ever seen in any other company that I've been at. The business is straight forward, uncomplicated and easy to understand how it works. Even when issues arise, they are relatively easy to solve. SAP is a big part of what makes the processes here so straightforward.

Cons

The managers (specifically in supply chain) absolutely ruin the experience of working here. I'm not sure that real leaders (directors, VPs, etc) know how their smaller managers act towards everyone else. It's hard to believe the people in these manager roles were actually hand selected to manage other people when they probably can't even manage their own households. They only thing they're really good at doing is intimidating their subordinates, taking behind their back, and making them feel alienated.
