Pros

Sensient is definitely a great company for those looking for growth and opportunity. In just the few months that I have been here, I have already had the chance to manage projects that impact the global organization. Management puts faith in the people they hire, and it shows through the autonomy you are given and promotional opportunities available. Sensient is going through a sort of cultural transformation, which is really exciting to be a part of. Leadership is very accessible and open to feedback. Anyone can make an impact on the business here, and new ideas are welcomed and encouraged. The team here is very supportive and fun. Everyone wants to see you succeed, therefore everyone is very willing to help. It's easy to feel like you fit in from the first day. Good pay, unlimited sick days, a lot of paid holidays, food and drink in the breakroom, and the chance to travel are all nice perks!

Cons

Sensient is not for the faint of heart. This could be a pro or con, depending on how you look at it. It's a very challenging environment, and can be rather intimidating for a newcomer. The business is complex and learning it all can be a daunting task. There is a ton of work to be done, so coasting through the day and taking long lunches won't fly here. You have to truly dedicate yourself to the work. It's a business professional environment, so prepare to wear a suit every day (even friday!).

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.
