Pros

amazing legacy, Firmenich is a clear leader in its field. The fragrances Firmenich creates are outstanding. If you want learn about fragrance a Firmenich is a great place to be at for a couple of years.

Cons

There are no growth opportunities in the NY office. Someone has to vacate a position in order for an opportunity to opens. There is a leadership power vacuum creating a highly politicized environment. Office leaders actively work against each other. Extremely reactive to problems.

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.
