BASF Employer Reviews

Worked there unfortunately, left after they insisted that we sell contaminated product. Management has very ittle talent and values only German nationals. Americans are seen as nothing more than fodder for the machine as they move money back to Europe. FMC, ISP, Dow etc. are all better options.
If BASF calls, run!

Always something new, dealing with issues, worked very hard while becoming pro active as opposed to reactive.
I had an open door and listened to both sides of any problems before deciding what to do to fix any issues, be them technical or personal.
Forged many good friendships over the years
I kept the company rules and decisions first in my thinking – more...  while striving to be profitable and budget concious. – less

After a full year of working at BASF, I have been overlooked, overworked and underpaid. I was hired, as they do everyone, through a temp agency a year ago. I have yet to be hired full time, and still not offered any advancement in position, but am required to help in all the advanced positions...The management is deaf to my pleas in advancement, and – more...  do not refer to me as an employee. I am considered "just a temp" to the supervisors. Any company functions/lunches/parties, I am not invited to. Needless to say, I am disappointed, and looking for another company. – less

A typical day is a tie-in meeting to see where you are, as in production for the night or day. Meeting with supervisors to get prodution goals for the shift. Report to the station. Work throughout the shift, having two fifteen min. breaks, a thirty min. lunch. Finish the shift with a tie-in meeting with the returning shift.

This job was ok. Worked with some good people. It didn't last that long though because it was only temporary.

• Set up, installation, and replacement of computer equipment
• Responsible for ensuring integrity of hardware, software and systems on equipment serviced
• Troubleshooting and training as necessary for users with varied skill levels

Great company, currently going through changes so job security is a bit of a issue.

typical work day involved a combination of order entry, taking calls for phone que, logistics, production, distribution, and technical. Although the experience was somewhat brief it was a bit overwhelming for the pay involved.
Multitasking to utmost may be an undanderstatement and there were also some weeks where mandatortory overtime was enforced. – more...  So due those factors I had no choice learning a great deal in a short amount of time.
Management at the time could have definitely used more guidance with their leadership roles and management practices in general.
Overall the people the group I worked with were great and I will really miss the lunches and the core of people for the department. – less

I worked in one of the NJ facilities in IT. I was there for 18 months. I reported to a manager who was a micro manager. She was a control freak and made everyone's life miserable. Everyone knew about her, but no one did anything. It was degrading working for her.

Once the CIO called me to ask me if she and her boss were lying to him about the projects – more...  under their control. I knew they were, but what could I say. I finally left the company and am now happy.

What a terrible experience and what a terrible manager to report to. – less

When I was hired at BASF little did I know there would be a reorganization 8 months after my hire date. Had that been communicated to me in the interview process I clearly would not have pursued the position I took that was ultimately eliminated.

I was emplyed in the flexo printing division of BASF. This was the first multi-national company I was employeed by, and it was a learning experience. I traveled extensivley throughout the United States and Canada, and I met many people and got to learn how the different companies we supported operated. I learned a lot about the printing industry, and – more...  about corporate culture. – less

I really enjoyed my time at BASF in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
Worked in a research laboratory but I had the chance to meet really cool people. Management is nice and they know your name. I was taken to dinner by my division manager.

A nice bunch of people but some more money for a proven crew would be appropriate. Especially living on Long Island, you need a minimum of $50k to survive.

fast paced work environment all about safety have to wear negative air flow respirator

BASF is a strong group in terms of finance, stability, vision, Research and development,technical soundness, it is great working with such a big group, which gives multifarious oppurtinities to flourish in field.

Great experience with my first international organization.Learned how to work and manage in a multicultural environment.
