There are many Business units where you can learn many things about the products and business of EASTMAN if the manager/leadership team allows.

Dislikes

Many things and it never resolve! * Work life balance: Only manager/leadership favorite people's receive the flexibility and support. * Promotions: Never expect this in PSRA team. If you are good in bucketing you might get it, or else never expect any advancement in the levels, no opportunity to grow if you have the experience and expertise. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> * HR and management team completely follows the FUNCTIONAL managers/directors feedback</mark>. Even though its against the policies and not with the other corporative standard procedures. If you show case the concerns also they won't take any actions. They only address the team specific/manager specific queries. * Policies and guidelines will change according to the departments. * You will stuck in same level/title for many years....Read More

1. Encouraging and supportive leadership. 2. Work life balance can be achieved, compensation and benefits are provided based on your efforts without any bias

Dislikes

1. No free transport- Office timings are from 11 AM to 8 PM and there is no transportation facility made available for employees which is a major drawback. Providing transportation would be good majorly in terms of safety (specially for women it would be really difficult to travel at 8 PM that too through public transport). 2. No additional Benefits - And there is no team outings or Annual outings which would add as additional beneficiaries for employees and encourages employees to put more efforts after great refreshments. 3. No on site visits - Eastman is not encouraging to visit sites at different locations for employees, i think they should provide this opportunity to all the employees in a rotational method (rather than sending same person repeatedly for visits or trainings)so that everyone gets a chance to visit the site and can enhance skills which in turn add more value to the job role they are performing....Read More

Great work life balance. Good natured managers. Positive work atmosphere. Awesome work culture. No work place politics. Management was very supportive and helpful during the Corona pandemic time.

No major concerns to point out. There are minor flaws in any system but when the management is highly supportive & employee friendly, there is no harm to get adaptable with the system.

Company culture is really good and provides good work-life balance. I like the work nature with great collaboration of peers and counterparts. Medical insurance is very much helpful. Safety is company's utmost priority.

Dislikes

Compensation is decent but the growth is slow. Promotion period is long. Although company's culture is great, it has become diluted up to some extent because of micro-management in recent past, which may eventually turn multinational firm to Indian firm. It would have been really helpful if company provide transportation facility to all the employees. Also, it would have been great if company give opportunity for international travel to new folks instead of repeated folks....Read More

Eastman provides healthy work environment and constantly encourage people to explore even out of work, like Toastmasters, cultural activities, volunteer works etc. Good work culture and supportive team and management, always encourage you to think and explore OOTB. The company policies like leave system, Medical benefits are good. Management is good, but I feel that it can be better.Also, there is less scope for promotions and move upwards in the line of hierarchy as of now, if there is good number of levels for positions/roles , it may create a good opportunity for well deserved candidates to be promoted in their line of work. Company policies are great but can be better in reference to on-site opportunities and employee benefits....Read More

This company is open to innovation and quick to adapt technologies. The project I am working is the an example of it. Being a manufacturing company and a specialty chemical industry it is expected to be a little behind in digital technologies, but its very different here, in-fact a step ahead of most of the companies out there. Leadership gives a lot of importance to work live balance. They Operate in a almost flat hierarchy. Leadership is easily approachable....Read More

Dislikes

Other than facilities being limited because of COVID restrictions. I don't see any negatives as such. Food in cafeteria is a big problem because of COVID.

The company has excellent work culture. If you are good at what you do your work is rewarded. Leadership is caring for employees.

Dislikes

If the company becomes more flexible with remote working option this would be a big factor for us to continue working here for long term, as in India this company is only located in Hyderabad so there is restriction on location. I sometimes feel we could get some perks.
