Pros

Givaudan is a global company so it’s great to work with talents abroad

Cons

Management is horrible. Bad culture. Very negative environment. Unhappy employees at Tulisa Park, Johannesburg office. Too much favoritism. Fear of speaking up. Fear of victimization. managers that don’t care about you. Each for their own. No team dynamic. Don’t recommend working here unless senior management changes

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are very sorry to hear that you felt that way working at Givaudan. We are committed to providing a working environment that is based on mutual respect among employees and is free from harassment. We have set Principles of Conduct to which every employee is expected to adhere (https://www.givaudan.com/our-company/corporate-governance/principles-of-conduct). Also available is our Compliance Helpline. While our culture of integrity and open communi-cations enable employees to address any concerns directly to their line manager, the Compliance Helpline is designed to provide a ‘last resort’ for those cases in which an employee does not feel able to speak out.
