Don't be alarmed by Business Dress requirement

Sustainability analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Despite the requirement for business dress, interactions with managers and coworkers is much more informal than the "unspoken rules" I've experienced at previous employers. Management at Sensient practices what they preach. Decisions are made on clearly defined values.

Cons

The culture can feel a little "old school" depending on your location and role.
