Distributors can never be manufacturers. Extreme Biasness and toxic environment.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
UK, USA, French teams are good
Stay away from Team Italy (team is good but we all know who is not ;))
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
In my observation of 8 years, there 1-2 really good people who can keep you motivated. Management acts like that of distributors instead of chemical manufacturers of high thinking and bigger goals.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Please be unbiased towards people who are from other countries. Humans should be judged on their brains and capabilities and skills instead of ethnicity.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
Dear former colleague,
Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We genuinely regret that your experience with us over several years left you feeling this dissatisfied. No employer wants to see a former colleague carry such long‑lasting frustration, and we take your feedback seriously.
At the same time, we would like to address a few of the points you raised.
Connect Chemicals has been an international company from the very beginning. Two‑thirds of our owners have a migration background themselves, and our teams across Europe, Asia, and the Americas have always been built on cultural diversity. Because of this, we find it difficult to reconcile the statement that non‑German employees would generally experience a different or more difficult working atmosphere. Nevertheless, if you personally felt treated unfairly, we truly regret that and would welcome the opportunity to understand what led to this perception.
We also want to clarify that being active in the specialty chemicals industry does not mean we lack environmental or social responsibility. Every year, we support charitable initiatives in several countries, and we continuously work to improve our sustainability efforts. Anyone joining our company is aware of the industry we operate in, but that does not diminish our commitment to responsible practices.
Regarding the repeated reviews from different email addresses that appear to come from the same individual: we find it unfortunate that this seems to be the chosen way to express dissatisfaction. It does not help either side going forward.
We would sincerely prefer an open, confidential conversation to understand your concerns directly and constructively. We are always willing to meet on neutral ground and listen to you and your experiences.
We wish you all the best for your future and hope that, should you wish to discuss your experience in a more personal setting, you will feel comfortable reaching out.
Best regards,
Alina Maldera
HR Manager
Connect Chemicals GmbH
