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.
