Small and Growing with Lots of Opportunities for Development and Personal Growth
Pros
Supportive Company/Family Work Culture with Opportunities to learn, grow and develop one's capability all rounded. I wouldn't hide or try to paint a fake picture that all's rosy. It is a small and growing extremely fast fragrance house, with a strong heritage in Fine Fragrance and increasingly growing their knowledge and strength in Consumer fragrances. It has global presence but unfortunately, it still lacks global perspectives, global governance and practices across all departments but it is changing and people are willing to listen and change. One thing which I missed not working there is the fact that I am able to grow as much as I could as the environment is supportive and encouraging. Different from the bigger fragrance houses where chances of developing your skills and capabilities are quite difficult as most would have had established protocols and procedures in place. Helped me to grow more than what I knew i was and could be...
Cons
Small and hence, limited resources in all senses... as in wanting to do alot more but not having the right resources both in terms of capabilities, numbers, experience. Globally, things are rolled out haphazardly without ensuring that everything is completed or done to ensure successful roll-out
