Pros

Great coworkers! The Madison site is an essential business that manufactures products such as probiotics and dairy cultures (used for cheese and yogurt production). The work is challenging but the crews are great to work with. There is also an R&D/administrative building on site. There are sometimes opportunities to transfer between departments if you are interested (production, operations, QC, shipping, R&D, Q&FS, etc.). The site used to be DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences and merged recently (February 2021) into IFF.

Cons

There were some hiccups early after the merger but things seem to be getting settled now.

Pros

Learning opportunities People are nice and willing to teach/learn

Cons

No room to move up, though you’re encouraged to grow your skillset Very few hiring opportunities, no backfilling of positions In order to move up, you must show you can perform at that next level, while still doing your current job Very few promotion cycles (1-2/yr) Ineffective management Recent layoffs (2025-2016)
