Sensient is great for young professionals

Pros

As a young professional, I am amazed at the career opportunity at Sensient. Although I am early in my career, I am entrusted with a lot of responsibility to drive projects that truly impact the business, which is both challenging and rewarding. My team (both peers and management) are very supportive and helpful. We all help each other out when needed, but also allow individuals take project lead and show their strengths. Because Sensient is a global company, I have the opportunity to work with my colleagues in many different countries. It's wonderful working with a diverse group of people with different ideas and perspectives. Although I've only worked for Sensient for less than 2 years, I truly feel like I've gained 5+ years of meaningful experience and perspective, thanks to the opportunity that my supervisors and the Company provide to me.

Cons

Work load can be intense and work weeks can get long. However, the team I work with is passionate about what they do and the projects are very interesting, all of which makes it to dedicate myself to the work.

Opportunities for Growth!

Pros

Hard work pays off and doesn't go unnoticed: opportunities to move within the organization and exposure to new experiences. Benefits and salary are a bonus, such as the option for tuition assistance to continue education. Fast pace (good for some) work environment. Large corporation with feel of small company. Colleagues are eager to help each other.

Cons

Corporate culture - only a con if you can't adapt. Some may consider formal dress code a negative, but it's easy to abide to.

Pros

The company pays very well, excellent work schedule, and excellent benefits. The corporate building in saint louis has a cool design.

Cons

This company has a lot of potential however, upper management is condescending and use passive aggressive tactics to intimidate their workers. The office lacks cultural diversity. Upper management threatens current employees to leave good reviews to offset the former employees reviews of the company. Upper management is not open to suggestions if you speak up, you will be terminated.
