Pros

Entrepreneurial Environment, Fast Moving Projects, 360 understanding of the fragrance market across different categories, great senior management, great business, great creative centers, great ability to work across regions and dept (high level of collaboration), great leadership examples

Cons

not process oriented culture, limited ability to plan ahead, 80% of French Sr Management (perhaps being an intl company it would make sense to have managers representing more regional diversity), could improve its strategic ability to create the vision for the future, marketing could do more? very reactive work...

Pros

IFF brought the new concepts of cell-based assay to taste modulation compound screening, and created a lot of new modulators for sweet, umami and bitter taste qualities.

Cons

Creation of taste receptor cell lines and evaluation was the biggest challenge since all sweet and umami receptors with at least two subunits and a G-protein, so it was hard to create a cell line with good response in taste assay, especially in HTS evaluation. I tried different vectors, different vector combinations, and three gene in separate vectors or three genes in one vector, finally I got some working stable cell lines. From this, I got a lot of experience in how to create a good stable cell lines and how to evaluate them.
