Pros

Sensient is a global company and one of the industry leaders. Plenty of growth opportunities especially if you are open to relocation. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Some would say the professional dress code but this does not bother me. There is flexibility but sometimes it depends on your location and manager. Time off could be improved but holiday schedule is above average.
