Pros

Compensation is ok, though raises aren't. Direct team members

Cons

No work life balance Management changes their mind on a dime Management is quick to throw you under the bus to suit their own needs Dog-Eat-Dog environment. Everyone is out for themselves Little opportunity for advancement, it's all about who is most liked and who will be the most compliant. Company-wide goals are extremely vague and left up almost entirely to managers interpretation Merit raises are way too low, you keep having more work piled on all year, only to be told you didn't meet your goals and receive a raise of less than 3% Be prepared to go home stressed out everyday, and do not expect to be rewarded for any hard work.

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.
