Pluspunten
Salary is great, as well as an annual bonus scheme (not guaranteed). Other normal benefits such as private healthcare & decent pension contribution. Flexi working available with core hours, can be a bonus for those commuting and want to avoid traffic.
Minpunten
Despite there being over 400 people onsite, the office environment is quite cold, conservative & clinical with not much vibrancy. Social interaction is limited and in an unspoken way it is frowned upon. The company is adamant not to adopt a working from home set up, although it is trialing (like we haven't been in a global pandemic for 2 years) working from home 1 day a week. There is not much atmosphere within Innospec. This is very much a show up, do your job and go home company. With little culture, and lack of progressive attitudes I wouldn't recommend this workplace to someone who thrives in lively environment. There is no wifi or signal onsite. Also there's a tedious hold the handrail policy in place, and you will be pulled up by management and potentially given disciplinary measures if caught not holding the handrail whilst walking up and down the stairs.
