      Pros

      Salaries Co-workers New facilities Some managers are extremely talented

      Cons

      If you're thinking of going here, look at the number of bad ratings from former employees versus the high ratings from current employees. Company offsetting bad reviews by intimidating current employees to write glowing reviews

      Too Strategic for Relationships.

      Pros

      There are some genuinely talented professionals and good people at Sensient that deserve better than the way they are treated. That said, the greatest positive is knowing that regardless how much Sensient petitions solely on new grads, interns, and HR for their positive reviews, and attempt to silence their critics with litigation, industry professionals are not fooled enough to come work here.

      Cons

      They let go their best talent without cause. They cycle through Group Presidents and CFOs—historically around 10 Presidents in as many years; with the position is vacated altogether much of the time. Management is often promoted beyond their level of competence, and several are are condescending and arrogant. Executive Management is excessively out of touch--their only value is their bottom line, and are somehow convinced the only was to succeed financially is by perpetuating their bullying, oppressive, draconian culture. They are vocally anti-relationships. The required necktie dress attire is a noose around your neck, there to remind you that the floor can drop from beneath you at any time at the Sensient gallows.
