Pros

Good company culture, very inclusive

Cons

Lowest pay versus competitors. No recognition unless you are a 'favourite'. Strong emphasis on short term opportunities which increases stress levels throughout the business. Long hours and poor work/life balance, you are expected to put in the extra hours with little to no acknowledgement. A lot of people become comfortable and do an 'ok' job, they are kept on purely so as not to offend.

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.
