Pros
Fantastic brands with great marketing and investment; lovely offices
Cons
Staff are brainwashed by management into thinking and operating a certain way. It is a highly arrogant business. Stress levels are high amongst everyone, work life balance is poor and micro-management is common. Ferrero operates a blame culture, and because they manage to create their own Ferrero 'bubble' , staff begin to accept it as a normal way to work. Stay too long and you become 'Ferrero-ised'. Bullying is not uncommon and largely ignored by management; promotions are given only to those whose 'face fits', which results in management positions being filled by people with poor or no man management skills and not suited to the roles. No support or training is offered to fill the skill gap. Nepotism is rife; back-stabbing is evident in certain functions, as are 'inappropriate' work relationships. Management and HR ignores it all. Combined with the fact that everyone is overworked, this all makes the environment highly toxic and extremely unpleasant. AVOID.
