Pros

Good products, good talent, salaries are slightly above the profesional median.

Cons

Terrible locations, New Jersey. Stuffy "old world" management styles from the Executive leadership. It's totally money motivated with a 70's style of management. Long a go gave up all of there employee activity incentives, BBQ's, Sports, extracurricular employee functions.

Pros

Great opportunities, small company feel and a passionate workforce. The opportunities include both geographic locations as well as functional (i.e. outside of your primary area of expertise). Financially, a very solid company with broad global markets and a strong presence in both flavors and fragrances.

Cons

Could be a 'con' for some - lean workforce, so be prepared to have responsibilities outside of your normal day job! Work/Life balance can be a challenge at times.
