Pros

It is a global company very well recognized by the industry, clients and competition. People that work with seems to be very proud to be part to the Firmenich team. The company is creative and invest a high amount in thechnology,

Cons

Firmenich is a family company and some crucial decisions are based on this character. The management in Latin America is political oriented, corportist and not easy to handle. Some internal clusters of " friends" are tiny close. You must be with them or you shall be out. Old sharks are retired but new ones are in place. Geneve, the headquarter, is blind for that.

Pros

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.
