Pros

- Benefits package - Nice facilities (HQ) - Summer hours

Cons

- passive aggressive culture - work/life balance - promotion to MM is too long and uncertain - no candid conversations - work is largly adminstrative and "entry level" for the talent GMI hires - you will quickly find yourself behind your business school peers at other companies (responsibility and promotion) - complacency with status quo

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
