Pros

I guess the free candy?

Cons

The leadership team is way too into the details. Not sure if that’s due to the company continuing to hire new people and therefore misaligned vision but it makes the work unbearable. They're so busy playing “manager” that it causes more issues, swirl and delays of work.

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
