      Pros

      There are some very good people who are long time employees at IFF. They really understand their business and care about the company.

      Cons

      Too many areas of the company are lacking direction and focus. Many managers are so far above their pay scale that there is little hope for a turn around. It is also so political that some people were promoted extremely quickly without merit, while other far more qualified employees were scapegoated for others' failures. It appears corporate policy to fabricate excuses to terminate employees to avoid bonuses and severance.

      Pros

      The company and industry are very interesting. Its interesting because our biggest competitors are some of our biggest customers. There really is a lot of great people and history within IFF and you can see how IFF was able to achieve its success. The company also offers a great deal of global exposure and possibilities if you enjoy politics. Even though I've rated the company poorly, this is due to the more recent direction the company has taken.

      Cons

      It seems as though senior management has lost touch with the people who make up the organization and are only concerned about the short term so that they can please the market. We recently had a change in leadership with a new CEO which provided me with optimism, though we still have not heard much from him. I understand that the entire economy is sour right now, though IFF management has made some bad choices which have left a large majority of the company disgruntled and I think this is going to have devastating effects on the company.
