For junir people / young graduates interested in marketing of FMCG, this is one of the best places to get experience.

Short-term (quaterly or even monthly) decisions driven by recent business performance over-rule the yearly strategy led by consumer preferences. Complex decision taking, alwyas shared reposnsibility among a group of people (even on senior levels0 makes decision takign slow. Lack of knowledge transfer (whena person changes job, the knwoledge experties leaves with him/her)

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.
