Pros

Stability, benefits, smart people, well respected products/brands. Big company with lots of different areas and opportunities if you know how to navigate. Corp HQ is beautiful with a Caribou Coffee onsite

Cons

Corporate politics, size of organization makes it difficult to make impact. Change is slow. Diversity and culture seem superficial. Real connections are difficult to develop and maintain since things are constantly changing (people move from role to role quickly)

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.
