Pros

Great flexibility through agile working. Fast paced, interesting and challenging work. You'll make friends for life. The people (for the most part) are great. Fantastic company to work for.

Cons

It can be very political, passive-aggressive and hard to get work implemented at pace. Some middle management (VP level) just aren't effective. I think there is a case to remove quite a lot at this level (too many layers) as the Directors and Senior Managers do most of the work and are well able to handle senior stakeholders. That said, there are some at VP level who are brilliant.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
