Pros

To be fair and honest, I do not know where to Start. I have been with Sensient for over 2 years now. Perhaps I should have done this earlier. The Mgmt is demanding and why not, they should be! That being said - they truly believe that employees are their greatest asset. They stand by it. They train every single employee and no one is an exception. They firmly believe that its the employees who are steering the ship - so huge amount of time, effort and resources are devoted towards training all. Engagement is another area and the focal point is now on improving the same, taking it to the next level. Above all, I have never come across a situation wherein my Boss / Reporting manager has said - I have no time for you. Its an absolute Open Door Policy. You are simply a knock away. This is such a fantastic proposition wherein all you have to do is walk up - talk - discuss and close the topic! Why wouldn't you like to work for such a Boss and by extension Sensient!

Cons

I cannot think of anything.

A company with simple values and a unique culture.

Pros

I personally like the culture that has been established. 1) There is a lot of cross-training. With this comes increased communication and collaboration. 2) A great on-boarding program. The structure is great and the planning of it is always getting better. The staff responsible for training do a great job of time management and explaining instructions. Not many companies offer 24/7 feedback. 3) Sensient provides the tools necessary for a comfortable working environment. 4) They love to eat. 5) Their science is top notch. 6) They have the right people in the right place. 7) They don't punish for mistakes and praise integrity...if you don't learn from your past mistakes probably not the right company.

Cons

People will say the dress code is a con because of the strictness of the dress code. However, I was born with the sang, "Your business will never out grow your self image". This being said if looking professional is a con you probably won't like it. The cross-training can also be viewed as a con because sometimes one has to take on more work when a coworker is out of the office. Once again, if teamwork is a con, probably not the right job. They are recovering from a restructuring so some processes and bottlenecks are viewed as a con, but I only see these getting better.
