Pros

The flavor capabilities were amazing. The technology and resources for new product development were outstanding. Loved the sensory capabilities, and crossfunctional teams that I worked with. Got to do a little bit of business travel, but not too much.

Cons

The small group/office politics really got old. Especially if you didn't want to play the game, and just stick to business.

Pros

Learning opportunities People are nice and willing to teach/learn

Cons

No room to move up, though you’re encouraged to grow your skillset Very few hiring opportunities, no backfilling of positions In order to move up, you must show you can perform at that next level, while still doing your current job Very few promotion cycles (1-2/yr) Ineffective management Recent layoffs (2025-2016)
