Great facilities, nice cafeteria at Plainsboro site. Great health benefits compared with average, perks and employee appreciation. Summer internship program for kids in college, tuition payment not only for employees but also kids during the first 4 years of College, those were great initiatives.
Cons
Swiss based company, Business solutions are European driven, which produces management frustrations in the US. Very low quarterly employees bonus. No sick days or PTO, these were all is discounted from the employee vacation days.
Firmenich Response

Thank you for sharing your review of Firmenich! We value your opinion and will pass along your comments to our teams. We wish you much success in your current role.
Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)
Cons
Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results.
Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need.
Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more.
IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
