Pluspunten

For the right person, Firmenich would be a great company. You need to be fairly traditional, conservative and rigid to fit the personaiity of the company culture. My experience was that the company tends to develop ideas and policies in Geneva, Switzerland and cascade them down to the organization for implementation. Locations are managed from the top down, while business units are matrixed. This makes for a cumbersome working environment if you are creative, flexible and innovative.

Minpunten

Career development seems to be based on where you are located. Technology and slaes drive the company, which can be very profitable, but not always open to innovation.

Pluspunten

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

Minpunten

Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
