Pros

The feeling of working for a "BIG" brand. Product Discount. European culture.

Cons

No job security. Always cost cutting as much as they can. The company prefers hiring contractors and often let go of permanent employees once projects end, rather than reallocating them to other projects. The workforce is mainly senior-age employees. Managers do not want new changes in innovation and technology, just want to stick to "tradition". What you should do is "do as you are told", no opinions. This approach seems consistent with the brand's long-standing direction. I think if you are a young person, working here for long time will make you lose the competitiveness while the world out there keep changing everyday.
