Business Outlook

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

Great communication, fair compensation, strong management team, fast dynamics, this place is not for lazy people! Friendly atmosphere, everyone is helpful and engaged. Management do focus on development of their people, not only on the KPI's.

Cons

No working from home allowed. However this is a very minor minus.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is very low considering the exposure to chemicals and the nature of the work. Salary increases are minimal and do not keep up with the workload. There are almost no opportunities for professional growth or career development.

Cons

Employees are constantly pushed to work harder with little appreciation or recognition. Management shows little respect for workers and often ignores concerns raised by staff. The workload is excessive, communication is poor, and employee wellbeing does not seem to be a priority. Morale is low due to the lack of support and fair treatment.
