      Pros

      Amazing potential for growth through outstanding technologies & application expertise. Clear & focus strategies allows you to concentrate on what is important. Flat structures allows for speedy decision making. Good collaboration with HQ & other regions.

      Cons

      Very few & nothing worth flagging

      Pros

      Nothing to write anything good

      Cons

      New MD (an American) has no idea about flavour industry but appointed as MD-Australia due to political and racist reasons. (Has president- Donald Trump's modus operandi- hate coloured employees and marginalised disadvantaged employees). Run the business as a dictator even though he has no idea how to run a flavour business. customers are turning back to Symrise due to this reason. talented employees were taken out so this MD can run the business as he wishes which is detrimental to the Symrise business in Australia. This MD is on work visa to Australia and will do anything to secure his working visa sponsorship from Symrise to stay in Australia. it is pathetic to see that Symrise APAC president is the main culprit.

      Pros

      Good pay Relaxed pace A good place to work if you’re at management level or above

      Cons

      Can be difficult to get things done, due to the relaxed pace and unhappy admin staff. Limited career opportunities, a lot of roles not advertised to existing employees Sadly not a good place to work if you are in a support role.
