Pros

The best reason to work here is to get your foot in the door for this industry. After leaving, recruiters from this industry flocked to me because they see Sensient as a sinking ship, but because of this they utilize their employees to their fullest till you are of no more use to them. Even if you are a producer as I was. However, being used in this way exposes you to so much more than what youd be doing at their competitors. Long story short, get in, take as much as you can from them, and get out.

Cons

The whole sales staff with the exception of 5 people across the entire company, have been laid off, quit, or fired, and my clients would tell me that is how things worked here from day 1. Horrible environment. The people below the executive level are top notch, but management is trash. I believe those in management wish they could do better, but they simply cant, and are holding things together with scotch tape and a phony disposition. Their CEO is not a strong leader, he inherited the company from his father and is running the business into the ground.

Pros

There is a strong in-office culture with great people who are eager to help one another succeed. Business continues to boom with new developments and provides opportunities across a wide variety of roles for internal promotions. As a leader in the industry, it is easy to stand behind the products made at Sensient and allows for great confidence in what we create.

Cons

The company has a fairly strict policy on working in-office and enforces a business professional dress code, which can be limiting in daily flexibility but does provide strong guidelines for seperating work and personal life.

Pros

Customer-focused, results-oriented, high integrity organization that produces and sells exciting products in global markets. Sensient may not be a household name, but its products are probably in your home, as part of your favorite food and personal care products. This is a company that values and rewards individuals who work hard and help grow the business. A strong focus on coaching and development ensures motivated employees have a path to career growth and fulfillment.

Cons

This is a con only depending on what you are looking for: You can't hide here. This is not the organization for you if you prefer to work M/F from home (Company has always been 5 days in office), or you want a casual work environment. However, if you like a challenge, you have high goals for yourself, and you thrive on showing up, doing your best work, and getting rewarded for your results, you will love it at Sensient.
