Pros

The best summary to my comments below; if you are a person who likes to be playing on the field when the game is going on and working hard to help your team win, this is the place for you. If you are a benchwarmer or armchair quarterback, no need to apply. 1. Rewarded for hard work and achieving results. 2. High culture of accountability - focused on exceeding our customer's expectations, which required a high caliber talent community who are not satisfied with average performance. 3. Opportunities to advance. I see this all the time, if you are good at what you do, you will be noticed and recognized. You have choices, you can consider opportunities outside of your normal area of expertise as well as the ability to relocate globally in 35 countries. 4. Smart people: my peer group is made up of intelligent driven professionals that make me better at what I do. 5. Fast paced. If you are frustrated working in an environment where it takes forever to have a decision made or action taken, you will not find that here. You have to be comfortable working and making decisions at a pace you may never have experience. Not for the faint of heart. 6. Having a voice. With the right information and support, you will have many opportunities to share you ideas to improve the business. The best part, since the organization is very flat, it does not take months to get things approved. 7. Pay and benefits are excellent.

Cons

One thing 25 years of experience in four different industries has taught me, no place is perfect, an 80% fit is an excellent match. 1. Fast paced. Both a pro and con. I am able to achieve more in my role that any in the past 20 years because of the pace. However, the organization could benefit from taking some time to ensure what is rolled out or initiated is absorbed and not focused on what is next. 2. Feedback. Under Paul's leadership, communication is greatly improving, there is much more that can be done. Inviting employees to share their feedback in various formats (online, surveys, meetings, etc.) is still needed.

Pros

My job allows for me to creatively problem solve. Very competitive pay. Excellent work life balance.

Cons

The only con is the dress code. Dressing business professional to visit customers is no issue. But working day to day with colors in business professional dress can be messy.

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.
