Pros

Sensient usually pays well BUT they do get their money from you in long hours, harassment and other work issues

Cons

I read these glowing 4 and 5 star endorsements on Glassdoor and it doesn't seem to ring true with my experience and those of friends still at Sensient. I can't believe a review that the biggest "con" at Sensient is the dress code. Really??! It almost sounds like "canned" reviews from the Human Resources Department or a few "captive" employees. Hourly employees are treated poorly, never consulted and forced to work unplanned and last-minute overtime. Middle managers just try to keep their jobs and do whatever upper management tells them to do without concern for anybody else in the system. Upper managers at the divisions are always looking over their shoulder and worry about the next edict from Milwaukee. I got out and got a good job with a good company that actually respected me and I have never looked back

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.
