Pros

-Fantastic brands and smart people -Opportunities to work on world-class campaigns and learn as you go -Flexible working hours

Cons

-If you are a US-based talent (esp MBA) beware-you are too expensive to move too far up the ladder. There is definitely a ceiling that most will not overcome -Global structure meant many decisions were not made by anyone under a director level (local biz excluded) so it can be hard to feel empowered -Severely underpaid vs competitive companies

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.
