Pros

Money. They paid well but not that great. Annual raises were minuscule and they were not generous with bonuses.

Cons

I spent more than 10 years with Sensient and these favorable reviews do NOT reflect the company I worked for all those years. The company I worked for was fine if you didn't mind be over-supervised, denigrated and treated very poorly. They pay well because they couldn't retain quality personnel otherwise. Over a period of 5 years, every quality person (sales, manufacturing, customer service, even clerical) left for other pursuits and none has said they were not happier. Be careful of these favorable reviews, They don't reflect reality and are probably "plants" by a very duplicious management team

Pros

My job allows for me to creatively problem solve. Very competitive pay. Excellent work life balance.

Cons

The only con is the dress code. Dressing business professional to visit customers is no issue. But working day to day with colors in business professional dress can be messy.

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.
