Pros

Any new recruit is basically left to define their role themselves which is great when you are a self-motivating person and you generally know what is a good thing to do in regards to strengthening Firmenich's fragrance expertise.

Cons

For any non-self-motivating person it is a nightmare to figure out what your job role is, what is expected of you and how things are supposed to develop.

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.
