Pros

Working on world class brands, many of whom have strong missions and histories, is not to be taken lightly. Many good experiences and opportunities for growth and development (though situational to roles/function/team).

Cons

Highly matrixed org, overcomplicated by global team influences. Org has negligible strategy or plans and you will spend more time "playing the game" than actually doing your job. Culture is non-existent.

Cons

Its a big company so the typical bureaucratic issues, also sometimes it feels like we're just cogs in a machine

Pros

Work isnt too hard. Interview was good experience. People are great. Work is meaningful.

Cons

They are cheap, and do a lot of layoffs. Will cut teams and ask for more work from remaining individuals. Unrealistic goals at times. Doesnt seem to have a lot of room for growth.
