Professional Development

Very little room for growth if you are in operations. All they care about is Engineering degrees even if the job you want has nothing to do with engineering.

Many opportunities to grow within the company.

Typical for a Fortune 500 company

it is alright but could be better

They always encourage you to look professional growth opportunities.

Eastman values it's employees development

Excellent onboarding for employees hoping to grow in the company

Training opportunities at Eastman are great. Lots of classes, books to read, coaches available, etc. You have to be self-improvement oriented because many rely on your own initiative, but they are there and the company supports you taking them. Stretch assignments are available in abundance.

My area of legal practice is quite specialized and has little room for change, so limited "professional development" opportunities

Offer internal and external courses and fairly generous. Also tuition assistance.
