“One of the great things about life at IFF is the flexibility we have in the way we work. Success isn’t defined by hours or location, but by what we deliver. Like lots of IFF people, I split my time between the office and working from home. It’s an approach that works well for me – I love being here with my colleagues but the flexibility to work from home when I need to is great, particularly when you’ve got young kids.”

“I bounced around a few agencies before arriving at IFF, but it immediately felt like home. I’ve never felt more like myself or able to be myself than I do here. Research generally attracts people who are curious and empathetic, which is especially evident at IFF. A lot of friends feel that they and their colleagues were thrown together and all they have in common is sharing the same stretch of carpet. I feel lucky to have so much more than that.”
