Pros

I had a long tenure at Symrise. Was given opportunities to develop expertise. A global company with strong R&D/Innovations investments.

Cons

Being global and headquartered in Germany, the culture can be challenging when working in the US. Compensation was not always leading the industry. Benefits were good.
