Pros

My manager was absolutely knowledgeable, most professional & organized person. Great training/instruction from him. Many great people with great big-picture mentality. However, these people were not supported appropriately due to upper managers avoiding "stepping on toes". Work given was manageable. Benefit was good.

Cons

Pay was a lot lower compares to industry. Most people have been there too long and were out of touch with current technology. More time was spent whining about how they were so overwhelmed. Upper management did not do much to change the process. They were too happy with a slight increase in performance as a result of pushing employees to work longer days. Interview process was long and hard, which yielded high hope for a well-organized company. However, reality was messy. Culture lacked morale.

Pros

There is a strong in-office culture with great people who are eager to help one another succeed. Business continues to boom with new developments and provides opportunities across a wide variety of roles for internal promotions. As a leader in the industry, it is easy to stand behind the products made at Sensient and allows for great confidence in what we create.

Cons

The company has a fairly strict policy on working in-office and enforces a business professional dress code, which can be limiting in daily flexibility but does provide strong guidelines for seperating work and personal life.

Pros

Customer-focused, results-oriented, high integrity organization that produces and sells exciting products in global markets. Sensient may not be a household name, but its products are probably in your home, as part of your favorite food and personal care products. This is a company that values and rewards individuals who work hard and help grow the business. A strong focus on coaching and development ensures motivated employees have a path to career growth and fulfillment.

Cons

This is a con only depending on what you are looking for: You can't hide here. This is not the organization for you if you prefer to work M/F from home (Company has always been 5 days in office), or you want a casual work environment. However, if you like a challenge, you have high goals for yourself, and you thrive on showing up, doing your best work, and getting rewarded for your results, you will love it at Sensient.
