Pros

The company does what it says- period. No smoke and mirrors here and definitely no time for that either. Communication at the corporate level is open, honest (sometimes brutally honest) but I would much prefer that over some candy-coated, beat-around-the-bush approach to communicating with employees. Solid leadership at the top is very involved with day-to-day problem solving and provides the exec support needed to undo bottlenecks. Great environment for learning in your wheelhouse and outside of it. You're pushed to be better but not pushed to a level of being stressed out. There are many projects to be involved with and you truly have a voice for change here- not an exaggeration at all.

Cons

Going through a few growing pains have identified areas for improvement in process and communication style- however, there is not one company out there that doesn't have these either. The biggest differentiator is that we have recognized them and placed actions plans to address as needed. Sometimes short-handed on covering certain items but the ability to prioritize is paramount. Do that and you'll be just fine. I'm excited about the future of the company.

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.
