Pros
Iconic brands
Capable coworkers
Cool office, and good location
Real opportunities to build tangible experience
Cons
Very cut throat / unforgiving culture
Poor work / life balance
Poor IT systems
Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast”
High employee turnover
Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level
Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
