Pros

Amazing brands. Great employees. Great global vision. You will get great foundation from formal training.

Cons

Management over last few years has beaten any remaining spirit out of you. Sr execs in Canada making short term reactionary decisions. Say they want open culture, but don't trust them, they don't actually want you opinion unless you agree.

Pros

Big company, lots of opportunity if you are flexible and can move around the world. Great entry level job, but then get out by the time you make it to manager. Nice sustainability agenda.

Cons

Zero growth in NJ. Less upper management roles every year. Downsize and restructuring is the norm. Work life balance is poor. Leadership does not deliver. Leadership is encouraging an up or out mentality... meaning if you are not promoted in a couple years, you will be let go.
