Pros

Flexible work arrangements, talent/technical expertise, access to excellent R&D capabilities, fairly easy to get projects approved to work on

Cons

Constant restructuring that does not seem to bring about positive change, lack of any real innovation strategy, lots R&D projects but very little coming out of the pipeline, supposed to be a marketing-led company but doesn’t play out in the real day to day operations, no real investments in improving the culture or employee morale after all the restructuring, penny pinching is extreme, culture has become more and more fear based as employees have little job security, decision making has so many layers and things move very slowly as a result, even top talent has a hard time moving into other business units and so career development is challenging
