Very hierarchal

Pros

work life balance is a positive

Cons

The company is exceptionally hierarchical - if you're offered level 1A, B, C, D - Chances are you'll be managed by a very young professional right out of a tier 1 college with zero management experience The perks offered are also biased towards tier 1 management graduates

Pros

People are great, atmosphere is relaxed, usually a calm and flexible environment.

Cons

Constant short-sighted decision making from leadership that comes back to bite those executing the work over and over. Profit before employee wellbeing mindset.

Pros

Large company with best-in-class processes, especially in supply chain. The level of sophistication in Supply Chain Strategy projects is among the most advanced in the industry, so it is a great place to learn and put your talent into practice by developing far-reaching solutions.

Cons

Work environment at Supply Chain Strategies (SCS) team is extremely bad, even toxic. Leadership Team looks for its own benefit and has created a big divide between Business Partners and Project Leads and Analysts. Rather than genuinely engaging the broader team, there is a sense of "I am right, you are wrong" environment. Some of the so called leaders in the team seriously lack people skills, recurring to toxic attitudes like: blaming publicly their own team members, finger-pointing, directed yelling during meetings, emotional responses to feedback given, giving the cold shoulder (ignoring calls and messages), turning around team's concerns/feedback into blaming, just to name a few. Despite knowing well these issues and having the offenders identified, HR and top management fails to act to improve the alarming situation of the team. Personal well-being and psychological safety within this team is extremely poor, therefore should be avoided.
