Pros

The over-the-top culture of accountability means that you typcially get the internal support you need. This is critical to a success if you're customer-facing and a welcome change from today's "matrix" organizations. You will likley be more disciplined in the environment they've created.

Cons

The culture is extremely conservative, individuality is discouraged and honest feedback is often not received well by Management. Although, you may not always know that right away due to the passive/aggresive way issues are handled across the orangization. They are unapologetic regarding about their HR policies, some of which are antiquated and sexist. For Salespeople, the excessive turnover makes it difficult to gain trust with customers.

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.
