Pros

Great opportunity to gain corporate and life knowledge from the view of a multicultural/international. The corporate professionals I supported were amazing and enhanced my experience to unimaginable heights.

Cons

Investment in corporate relationship often one-sided. Monetary value outweighs the service of professionals helping the company achieve its success. The value of talent and intellectual data is significantly low.

Pros

Good stable company, less inclined to lay-off than publicly traded companies in area. Good vacation policy, reasonable compensation. Interesting niche industry fragrances and flavors.

Cons

Supply chain and financial priorities change from year to year. Significant work done on an initiative, then company may take up another initiative. Business processes not as formalized and developed as some publicly traded companies.
