Pros

At Ridgedale site, it is a state of art building, experience people and hard working environment. Comparable benefits. Sr management put safety first of everything in the building.

Cons

No work life balance and not flexible. For example, there are so many companies nowadays allow employees to work from home at least once a week or when there is a need, but Givaudan is so uptight in that aspect. Even there is a snow storm, no exception. Another thing, Sr management concerns about people safety when walking up and down stairs, but don’t care when people have to drive in snow and dangerous conditions.
