Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Here’s what it’s really like to work here—in their own words.
Chemistry has two traditional meanings in English; firstly, the science of substances and secondly the emotional or psychological interaction between people or entities. The combination of these summarizes how I feel about chemistry and how we as Mitsubishi Chemical Group use our technical strengths to produce products that bring benefit to society and to our customers. I also fully believe that chemistry – along with other technologies – will be a major contributor to solving some of the issues facing the world today.
At Mitsubishi Chemical Group I am valued as an employee and I feel comfortable in my working environment. We are continuously encouraged to challenge ourselves and to contribute our own ideas to develop innovative and sustainable products. Especially for me the flexibility to attend to family matters if necessary is very important.
I’ve been with the company since 2011, started in R&D and now work as Intellectual Property Manager. I like my job because by working on patents I can contribute to the innovative capital of the company and hence to KAITEKI. Personally, I also appreciate the many training and education possibilities my employer offers. This gives me the freedom I need for personal development while boosting productivity at the same time.
What impressed me most when I joined Mitsubishi Chemical Group is the broad range of markets it serves with their products. I very much enjoy working in a cross-cultural and cooperative environment for a company that is committed to invest in products that really bring benefits to the society and the environment.
Mitsubishi Chemical Group has recognized my achievements and provided me a lot of opportunities to grow and steer my career. I appreciate the company culture that includes a good work-life balance and employee well-being.
Mitsubishi Chemical Group always supported me and provided great opportunities to improve my management, coaching and leading skills. I feel satisfied when I can inspire the team and make progress in our projects. The fact that my colleagues trust me motivates me to go beyond my limits.
The compatibility of work and family has always been important to me in my professional life. I see this point becoming increasingly important in the now younger generation. In the polyester film group, we implemented a trust-based working hours model, providing significant flexibility to employees. As a company looking for young female and male talents, I believe Mitsubishi Chemical Group needs to take the next step and think what measures can be taken to support their employees and create an inclusive workplace.
Mitsubishi Chemical Group has provided me with opportunities to enhance my skills through online training courses and in-house training programs, allowing me to learn new abilities and further develop existing ones. With full responsibility for my projects right from the start, my role allows me to develop my own ideas and combine my love for innovation and technology with my passion for sustainability.
