Pros

Good pay, good benefits, experienced but undervalued coworkers

Cons

Management based on fear, you are not allowed to use your experience and talent so as to continuously improve the company, you have to always comply with what the country manager says and believes, you have to get permission for everything you intend to do to the country manager,there is a horrible working environment, there is favoritism and nepotism, Stone Age culture, affiliates around the world not integrated and not working together, no global strategy, they call themselves a flavor company but they do not have a basic flavors R&D strategy, their flavor ingredients global supply chain is not aligned, despite their so called change from ingredient company to a flavor company, the fact is that they are still relying heavily in selling ingredients, if you are considering interviewing, please consider closely the above remarks and don't waste your valuable career in 2 or 3 years of wasted time.

Pros

As a young professional, I am amazed at the career opportunity at Sensient. Although I am early in my career, I am entrusted with a lot of responsibility to drive projects that truly impact the business, which is both challenging and rewarding. My team (both peers and management) are very supportive and helpful. We all help each other out when needed, but also allow individuals take project lead and show their strengths. Because Sensient is a global company, I have the opportunity to work with my colleagues in many different countries. It's wonderful working with a diverse group of people with different ideas and perspectives. Although I've only worked for Sensient for less than 2 years, I truly feel like I've gained 5+ years of meaningful experience and perspective, thanks to the opportunity that my supervisors and the Company provide to me.

Cons

Work load can be intense and work weeks can get long. However, the team I work with is passionate about what they do and the projects are very interesting, all of which makes it to dedicate myself to the work.

Opportunities for Growth!

Pros

Hard work pays off and doesn't go unnoticed: opportunities to move within the organization and exposure to new experiences. Benefits and salary are a bonus, such as the option for tuition assistance to continue education. Fast pace (good for some) work environment. Large corporation with feel of small company. Colleagues are eager to help each other.

Cons

Corporate culture - only a con if you can't adapt. Some may consider formal dress code a negative, but it's easy to abide to.
