4 Business Systems Architect Reviews

Business Systems Architect at Ashland Chemical

What do you like about working at Ashland Chemical?

"My former company, International Specialty Products, was acquired by Ashland Inc. I've just recently have now report to an Ashland manager. I don't have enough time with the company to know what I like or don't like yet. So far I'm working with a good team, so the future has promise as long as Ashland's synergy plans don't eliminate my position after the current integration project."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Too new to Ashland to be able to advise someone interviewing."

What don't you like about working at Ashland Chemical?

"Not enough training on their methods and systems, yet you are still expected to get projects completely in the tight timeframe."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"No sure. Have not been with the company long enough to know if the philosophies make sense or not. They are a successful company, so they must have merit."
