Pros

The separate business units within Sensient Technologies are run in a somewhat entrepreneurial fashion with lots of freedom to affect change within a BU. Excellent people with a wealth of knowledge helps keep everyone sane through the workload which I would rate as above average. The environment is fast paced but I view this as a positive as you get to wear many hats and learn different facets of the business. If you want to put on blinders and punch in and out doing the minimum to get by then this is not the place for you, but if you want the ability to help improve the organization, bring your ideas, and act on CI projects you will thrive in this environment.

Cons

High turnover in the line level workforce within production and the use of temps makes it difficult to drive engagement.

Pros

This company has shown great opportunity for growth. Sensient takes the time to really develop best practices and values the opinion's of its staff. The on-boarding process definitely shows that they value the growth of the employees as well as the growth of the company. They have been the most accommodating company I have ever worked for and really want to create a solid foundation for new staff. This process has allowed me to fill confident and supported during my journey with Sensient.

Cons

Every work environment will have its ups and downs, that's the nature of any business working with people. Growing pains are needed for success.

Pros

A great opportunity to learn a lot and get your hands dirty. Definitely have to go in with a can do attitude because you will be hitting the ground running. There is a lot of opportunity to grow.

Cons

A lot of work to do but not enough people to do it. Work Life Balance.
