Pros

Loved Symrise and the people. Employed from 04-'12. Moved from Project management, Customer Service Director to Sales Director. Training was excellent and entrepreneurial style allowing control over profitability. Provided me opportunities to learn and grow professionally.

Cons

Reorganizing meant downsizing and saw it 5 times. Rapid, changing reorganization. I had 15 bosses and 8 job changes in 8 years. Saw many people laid off again and again then it was my turn after the 5th reorganization. It's just business - I suppose. Interestingly, my lay off comprised of women in their late 40s, and 50s.

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!)
