Pros

Sensient offers an excellent career opportunity. Employees are encouraged to develop their own career path and share it annually with Management/HR to outline a plan for success. The opportunity to work short-term or permanently in other countries is also a nice perk for those who desire. Even lateral transitions into other job functions is common. Management has always been supportive of a work/life balance. The industries that Sensient serves are dynamic and provide a constant stream of excitement to your everyday job. Collaboration with your colleagues is a huge plus. The workforce is very career-driven which makes it a breeze to get things done collectively. I truly enjoy working with the vast majority of my co-workers, much better than any previous place of employment. Compensation is highly competitive, and as noted previously, there are always opportunities to attain a higher level/salary. The vacation policy is most generous-- MUCH better than other places I've worked. Benefits are above the norm as well. Every year, my spouse and I compare plans and mine wins time after time. If you're a driven person who is seeking a long career with a multitude of opportunities, I highly recommend.

Cons

Some aren't fans of the business formal dress code but I quickly got used to it.

Pros

If you desire to work for company that is fast paced, executes on decisions immediately and gives you every opportunity to explore different career paths, then Sensient is the company for you. In my short two year tenure, I have had the chance to advance my career as well as take on exciting challenges. This organization is focusing on their employees and making sure they have a venue to express their career goals. The atmosphere is dynamic and you are empowered to make decisions that provide value to you and the organization. Every organization has its ups and downs, but I believe the future is very bright for this company.

Cons

Nothing that is significant enough that it is worth mentioning
