Pros

The best summary to my comments below; if you are a person who likes to be playing on the field when the game is going on and working hard to help your team win, this is the place for you. If you are a benchwarmer or armchair quarterback, no need to apply. 1. Rewarded for hard work and achieving results. 2. High culture of accountability - focused on exceeding our customer's expectations, which required a high caliber talent community who are not satisfied with average performance. 3. Opportunities to advance. I see this all the time, if you are good at what you do, you will be noticed and recognized. You have choices, you can consider opportunities outside of your normal area of expertise as well as the ability to relocate globally in 35 countries. 4. Smart people: my peer group is made up of intelligent driven professionals that make me better at what I do. 5. Fast paced. If you are frustrated working in an environment where it takes forever to have a decision made or action taken, you will not find that here. You have to be comfortable working and making decisions at a pace you may never have experience. Not for the faint of heart. 6. Having a voice. With the right information and support, you will have many opportunities to share you ideas to improve the business. The best part, since the organization is very flat, it does not take months to get things approved. 7. Pay and benefits are excellent.

Cons

One thing 25 years of experience in four different industries has taught me, no place is perfect, an 80% fit is an excellent match. 1. Fast paced. Both a pro and con. I am able to achieve more in my role that any in the past 20 years because of the pace. However, the organization could benefit from taking some time to ensure what is rolled out or initiated is absorbed and not focused on what is next. 2. Feedback. Under Paul's leadership, communication is greatly improving, there is much more that can be done. Inviting employees to share their feedback in various formats (online, surveys, meetings, etc.) is still needed.

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.
