The pay is good if you can stand the egos

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global mobility, strong position in marketplace, fun industry, innovation, good pay and benefits.

Cons

Too many egos. The executives would rather hear themselves talk than listen. The present once a year workshops and call it development. They are hiring General Managers, a fairly high-level position with "training will be identified" in the job announcement; they have no actual training plans in place for any level of leadership.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a global leader in the flavors and food ingredients industry. Right size company – big enough to do meaningful work, small enough that you can make a meaningful contribution to the company’s success.

Rigorous onboarding program introducing new hires to all key functions important to their new roles
