A Company Attitude as Happy as its Products - Associate Food Scientist Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

The attitude at Ferrara has been incredibly positive and collaborative despite the stress that might come along with M&A. Employees are very welcoming and friendly, and while the company is growing rapidly, it maintains the community spirit of a small company. I feel as as though there have been multiple opportunities offered to me, and have been encouraged from all angles to continue in both my personal and professional development from the company. Strong focus on quality products/ ingredients and improved brand definitions/ development

Cons

With the acquisitions there is growth, change, and reorganization currently on going to blend multiple separate systems- which can leave small uncertainties in which directions the company will ultimately proceed in. Standard frustrations of beginning or transitioning to new systems.

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
