If you are seeking a place of employment that has people who know how to lead, don’t apply here. The whole structure of management is so bad to the point where you will start questioning if you’re the one who is actually incompetent. Nepotism and favoritism runs deep at Innospec. You may feel welcomed and appreciated at first but it will slowly become more apparent that they do not care about you and you don’t matter. The fashion in how most of the people in corporate have obtained their job is a huge red flag in itself. Their ”governance” is not what they present and working there will be deteriorating in every single way if you’re not a part of their little crew. I do not recommend even applying for any job at this business if you want to succeed in any sort of way. They don’t want to work with people outside of their little group and they will push you out as quick as they can. 

They're growing fast. So that means still using 70's technology in some parts while newer buildings have better tech. Good pay if you work hard as they have a problem keeping people. They demand a lot and don't mind overlooking safety to get the product made. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter you are in the elements. Several times the plant would get flooded because we could t send down water to waste pond. Demand more money u will have to perform no matter what. I would still work there if I could though as I had learned everything and was comfortable. One mistake and your not likely to get a 2nd.

There are favorites. People can be very smart mouth and curse a lot. Gossip about you when you walk away. If the manager likes you, you get a raise if not, you can forget it. 

If you get up from your desk for more than 10 minutes, people start looking for you. Micro management.

Negative thinking co-workers. 

Innospec manages its money well and operates in the black.  It can be impossible to get items you need to do your job here in STX but I don’t think that’s the case working out of Midland.  No micromanaging.  Decent bonuses and yearly 3-6% raises.  Could use more investment in new lab capabilities.  Everyone says to stay away from technical team leader and his daughter who is directly under him at all costs.  

Management up here is a joke no one knows what the other is doing. You have to many chiefs not enough people. Short staffed over worked. If you don’t kiss butt you stay where you are at. Every one is labeled chemical operator but not every person is. 

Work daily with a great team and awesome management. Workplace culture is great with everyone on the same team. Hardest part of my job is sometimes dealing with customers demands. The most enjoyable part of my job is the success of my team and the accomplishments that are made.

Schedules are always felxiable and the scientists there are fairly young so they're easy going. Lots of other interns too so you won't feel lost or alone! They have pizza days for the interns and everyone is overall super friendly!

Since being here for a few years, I have been able to move up in the company a couple of times. The managers encourage growth and offer many learning opportunities. This work environment is very welcoming and I enjoy working for Innospec!

Work culture breeds negativity. Active bullying and temper tantrums including throwing large items across the lab. Would not recommend ANYONE working here.

Everyone is very welcoming and wants to see you exceed. All the information you need to do well in this role is taught to you. This is a wonderful place to work 10/10 recommend.
