Pros

Big international company and great experience for future. Strengthens your ability to act independently and take your own initiative.

Cons

Seems to be a new direction every month. They are hot on unnecessary business jargon i.e. "touch base" and whatever buzz word/phrase the CEO has most recently used. As for career progression, you better like schmoozing - not what you know but who you know. Many employees not willing to understand the full process but rather just their task.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
