Unprofessional Workplace - Finance Sensient Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Proximity to my home, snacks & drinks provided

Cons

Company claims to be “professional”, but that term only refers to the dress code. I feel like I am in high school, with all of the cliques and gossip, outsiders are not welcome and long term employees make that known! They promote from within, but sometimes that is a detriment to the company as individuals are promoted based on friendship rather than qualifications. The company 401K match is decent at 4%, but don’t be fooled, they only give you that match in the January of the following year, so if you leave the company before the year ends - no match!

Pros

My job allows for me to creatively problem solve. Very competitive pay. Excellent work life balance.

Cons

The only con is the dress code. Dressing business professional to visit customers is no issue. But working day to day with colors in business professional dress can be messy.

Pros

There is a strong in-office culture with great people who are eager to help one another succeed. Business continues to boom with new developments and provides opportunities across a wide variety of roles for internal promotions. As a leader in the industry, it is easy to stand behind the products made at Sensient and allows for great confidence in what we create.

Cons

The company has a fairly strict policy on working in-office and enforces a business professional dress code, which can be limiting in daily flexibility but does provide strong guidelines for seperating work and personal life.
