Pros
Having worked at 4 companies prior to joining Givaudan, I was blown away at the remarkable level of inter-departmental and inter-regional cooperation at this company. I've had a valuable experience meeting and working with employees from Europe, the US and in Asia and was a truly valuable learning experience here. The work-life balance was great with a culture that encourages a healthy personal/family life. Higher managers often did travel a lot and employees worked hard during business hours but everyone enjoyed a good amount of vacation time every year. Everyone genuinely seemed happy to work there and the employee turnover rate seemed very low. Givaudan is a leader in its industry of flavor and fragrances so there was a sense of prestige working there as well. It was a wonderful experience working at Givaudan and if I didn't have to relocate due to family matters, I'm sure I would have stayed with the company for years on after.
Cons
The office technology in terms of programs and softwares can use some updating.
