Pros

Workload is generally well-managed. The managers are good at assessing the team’s needs and hiring additional staff when required to ensure that work is distributed fairly.

Cons

Limited Career Growth: The MBS division, especially within the GSS team, has limited opportunities for advancement. Promotions are infrequent and often perceived as favoring certain individuals over others, which can be demoralizing for the team. Recently, several employees were promoted to Senior positions despite their lack of experience, leaving many deserving candidates feeling overlooked. Incompetent Management: Many managers seem to lack the necessary expertise in key areas, which hampers the team’s ability to receive appropriate support. The shared service model has faced challenges, particularly with managers who are not well-versed in the processes. For instance, the AP team’s reporting shift to the Global Treasury has shown benefits. Implementing similar changes for other roles like Treasury and Credit & Collections could enhance efficiency by reducing unnecessary middle management. Disorganized Internal Movement: HR often reallocates employees without considering their skills or the suitability of new roles, especially in IT. This mismatch can lead to inefficiencies and frustration among staff.

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.
