Pros

Global company so good global perspective/experience to add to your CV.

Cons

Head of Corporate Strategy is way too process driven. The strategy did not changed materially in the 7 years I worked there, yet the strategy team employees dozens of former consultants doing fancy PowerPoints but not execution on anything. Claim to care about employees, but the second a dollar is lost of top line, they do layoffs. Annual review is very biased and political.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
