Pros

I'm one week into my journey at Momentive Performance Materials, and I couldn't be happier with how things have started. The onboarding process has been incredibly smooth—well-organized, supportive, and thoughtfully paced. I’ve transitioned from my previous role without feeling overwhelmed or anxious, which speaks volumes about the culture here. The corporate HQ is a fantastic place to work. My desk setup is comfortable and well-equipped, and the environment is clean, modern, and welcoming. Everyone I've met so far has been warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. There's a real sense of community and collaboration. Bonus points for the cafeteria—it offers good food and a nice space to recharge during the day. Overall, I’m excited about what’s ahead and feel confident I’ve joined a company that values its people and sets them up for success.

Cons

Coming from a hybrid work environment, I initially had some hesitation about being on-site five days a week. However, it’s actually been a refreshing change. Being at corporate HQ has helped me build relationships faster, get face time with colleagues, and feel more connected to the company culture. The workspace is comfortable, the people are welcoming, and the cafeteria is a great perk—it’s made the transition smoother than I expected.

Pros

Great coworkers! hardworking, team players... intelligent and open to new ideas and ways of doing things. Business willing to invest it plant and equipment resources. Business is keenly focused on employee safety.

Cons

Suffering from years of chronic underinvestment by previous owners. Much talk from current leadership of investing in profitable business segments but little action to properly staff marketing and technology functions to achieve robust long term growth in profitable business units.

Pros

The pay is good. The people are terrific. Work life balance is great.

Cons

They won't even show candidates the facilities for fear they will not accept a job if they see where they will be working.The facility is falling apart around us. It is not uncommon for there to be no environmental controls, water pouring out of ceilings, wires hanging, dirt and filth everywhere. Hoods don't work, it's almost impossible to do our jobs because the working conditions are deplorable. It's impossible to accomplish anything due to bureaucracy. Everyone walks around here depressed and disgusted. Sad state of affairs.
