Terrific marketing and general-management education Surrounded by top-notch talent at all levels True commitment to the brands and consumers

Cons

A very political place -- need to know and kowtow to the right people Passive-aggressive behavior in discussions and decision-making A lot of meetings really slow things down (and a lot of it is for show)

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
