Pros

Long history and good product range

Cons

Started going south when Juan Luciano took over as CEO from Patricia Woertz. Became a poisonous environment when Wild flavors was acquired in 2014 and the culture was irrevocably changed. Started losing many highly experienced staff who built business. Sadly, the culture is driven by greed and egos and it's hard to understand how they can justify Luciano's annual income of over USD$18M when many other staff are on extremely humble salaries.

Pros

You have the opportunity to see the direct impact of your work across different locations and interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds. The role also allows you to build strong, genuine relationships with colleagues working alongside you day to day.

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of transparency within the organization. Communication from senior team members can be inconsistent, and at times feels misaligned with their actions. Recognition and positive feedback are limited, particularly outside of established internal circles. The company’s technology and processes can be outdated and overly complex, which can hinder efficiency. Additionally, the organizational structure is quite hierarchical, and there appears to be limited initiative from leadership to drive meaningful change. The role often extends beyond typical analyst responsibilities, requiring significant emotional labor in addition to technical work.
