Employees at Givaudan appreciate the friendly environment and sense of kinship, as well as the learning opportunities and global exposure offered by working with teams across different countries and cultures. The company provides a good work-life balance with flexible working arrangements, and employees are satisfied with the benefits and facilities on offer.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as the annual performance evaluation process known as 'Engage', which can be demanding for some. There is also room for improvement in communication between different teams and departments.

Certain roles, particularly those involving global teams, can also have a high workload with demanding deadlines.
