Pros

Nothing to write anything good

Cons

New MD (an American) has no idea about flavour industry but appointed as MD-Australia due to political and racist reasons. (Has president- Donald Trump's modus operandi- hate coloured employees and marginalised disadvantaged employees). Run the business as a dictator even though he has no idea how to run a flavour business. customers are turning back to Symrise due to this reason. talented employees were taken out so this MD can run the business as he wishes which is detrimental to the Symrise business in Australia. This MD is on work visa to Australia and will do anything to secure his working visa sponsorship from Symrise to stay in Australia. it is pathetic to see that Symrise APAC president is the main culprit.

Pros

Excellent high quality coworkers Good pay Autonomous work

Cons

Teterboro facility extremely lacking compared to competitors. Overall, US is de- emphasized globally while representing a large portion of consumers. Being a Euro centric company, they haven’t figured out how to crack the US market. Pls note Dr Bertram is no longer CEO (hello Glassdoor!)
