Likes

Work life balance is very good, team bonding is excellent. Employee support system is good (however perks, benefits reduced significantly in recent years). Good exposure of different businesses, industry, customer set up so it gives opportunity to move within company for good positions -it is critical to have good connect with key decision makers.

Dislikes

... to other countries and heavily depends on leader's perception about individual. Variable payout/bonus is highly influenced by BASF global performance hence actual payout is far less and total CTC will be less than given in paper. Now performance system is implemented where individual performance will be reward with instant payout of bonus however increment will be less dependent on individual performacnce.

There salary was good at the point, even if you are a fresher, you will like feel "Madhubani" after meeting with them , there first thing is to attack you in different ways whom you feel to avoid, they just asked the same thing again and again . Please be careful.

Dislikes

Their interview preparation is horrible, I was selected for interview and there the Team BDT guide me and they said that I have to prepare some of points , I prepared it ( Actually they gave me points like NEFT,RTGS,IMTS,AEPS and much more ) , But who was guided me there to actually perform the interview , she was misleading me , and I found that the totally different topics were asked to me to perform. I was shocked and also can't said there that your employee said me to prepare for these topics and now you are switching to another topic. Also I didn't asked the employee to guide me , so why she did it to me ?
