Pros

The onboarding process was great, lots of great training areas for me personally. There is always someone available if you have questions, no matter how busy they may be. Easy commute from home. Definitely fast paced at times - not a problem for me since I like being busy.

Cons

Business professional dress all the time. Ability to work from home is very minimal.

Pros

I have worked at Sensient for over a year now. Sensient has a very strong foundation and expects a lot from its employees. Integrity is number one and I greatly appreciate that. They want their employees to be successful, but also accountable. The pace is fast and the bar is set high. If you work hard, you will be recognized and rewarded. It might not be within your time frame, but this is the first company that I have worked for that promoting from within is a priority. Sensient has a strong culture which is not for everyone, however, with an open mind it is easy to be a part of which is great.

Cons

The business dress code is difficult for many. It can be seen as a positive or negative. Personally, it makes it easy for me to get dressed each day!
