      Pros

      Great colleagues, brands Good place to learn

      Cons

      Used to be a great place to work, however went downhill in recent years. It is increasingly clear that the company is using ZBB and other savings initiatives as an excuse to be cheap. Flying red eye flights on budget carriers was a torture. This was exacerbated by the fact that these “savings” have never trickled down to the rank and file. Bonuses are atrocious. This has led to many departures of late from the best and brightness.

      Pros

      Ethical company. Good interaction with teams across the world. Large ecosystem within Uniever which helps understand how global companies are run.

      Cons

      Friends, I have worked in this company for several years now. I have seen this place change in front of my eyes for the worse. I tell you, Do not join at assistant manager or senior manager levels. You will never get promoted on normal terms. Be prepared to spend many many years at the same level with no salary raises. I dont blame the company though, it is not relly growing market shares. Meanwhile you will see college kids sail through just because they are from "development programs". You will see that people who worked at lower salaries than you cross you over in a few years. If you still do join, best is to stay for a year or two , get the brand name and move out. Have a clear exit plan from the moment you join, if you do plan to join. Make no mistake, you will be squeezed till the last bit of free time from your life is removed.
