Pros

Great family friendly atmosphere with good benefits. Strong collaboratively working, little hierarchy. Interesting variety of branda

Cons

Empowerment as a value drifts into indecision. Too many stakeholders and over collaboration makes decision making slow. The exec is weak and needs to walk the talk. Poor career opportunities outside of the U.S.

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.
