Pros

great opportunities for international careers, fast paced, no red tape, good compensation package, multi cultural, business focused in all the positions / functions, wide range of exciting brands / products to work on

Cons

marmite like, could be ruthless, little upfront thinking: let's do it... then fix it, struggling at implementing their vision (poor cultural fit with the Health Care industry), getting too focused on very short term. Lip service on people related values: you are only worth your last 6 months and usually considered as an expensive commodity

Pros

Feel that the pay is above market standard for similar roles.

Cons

Intense, cold, cut throat. Feel like when you speak with any employee they’re burnt out, Managment beyond demanding. High profile brands, don’t align with low end culture.
