Pros

Sensient offers an excellent career opportunity. Employees are encouraged to develop their own career path and share it annually with Management/HR to outline a plan for success. The opportunity to work short-term or permanently in other countries is also a nice perk for those who desire. Even lateral transitions into other job functions is common. Management has always been supportive of a work/life balance. The industries that Sensient serves are dynamic and provide a constant stream of excitement to your everyday job. Collaboration with your colleagues is a huge plus. The workforce is very career-driven which makes it a breeze to get things done collectively. I truly enjoy working with the vast majority of my co-workers, much better than any previous place of employment. Compensation is highly competitive, and as noted previously, there are always opportunities to attain a higher level/salary. The vacation policy is most generous-- MUCH better than other places I've worked. Benefits are above the norm as well. Every year, my spouse and I compare plans and mine wins time after time. If you're a driven person who is seeking a long career with a multitude of opportunities, I highly recommend.

Cons

Some aren't fans of the business formal dress code but I quickly got used to it.

Great Place To Work

Pros

I have been employed with the company for just over a year and I have found that most employees are very helpful and willing to point you in the right direction whenever you may have a question. I was looking for a challenge to help me grow professionally personally. I can honestly say that the company has lived up to my expectations. We view challenges as "opportunities" not "obstacles." If you are willing to work hard, take the initiative and be part of a progressive team; then Sensient Natural Ingredients is a great place to work.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business, the working environment can be very fast paced and expectations are very high.

Pros

Quick recruiting process - within 24 hours of speaking with a Sensient Recruiter, I received a call back to schedule a phone interview with the Hiring Manager. Approximately 48 hours after my phone interview, I received an email from the Recruiter requesting my availability for an onsite interview. Within 48 hours after my onsite interview, I had an offer in hand. Super fast interview process unlike other companies that keep you waiting for weeks. The work here is challenging and I continue to learn and grow at a fast pace. You have the opportunity to grow at Sensient if you own your career and take initiative and there are opportunities to develop processes and procedures. The high ethical standards are evident and those that do not exhibit these standards will likely not last long at the company. The pay is fair and the work life balance is appropriate for my position level in the company.

Cons

The dress code (suits required) and office environment are a bit stiff; however, my peers are friendly and respectful.
