Pros

Good agile culture (if your manager will allow it), flexible work environment, great learning with intelligent people.

Cons

-no development -lack of diversity -no support from HR or many support function -irrational leadership (HR/Comms) - stay far away from them!!!! I felt harrassed and intimidated by my manager. When I brought it to HR, they made the problem worse by going to him and letting him know who said it. The turnover rate of employee is staggering particularly in HR and Communications but overall in the entire company. Get in, get the experience, and get out. Associates and Manager: Do not stay as they will string you along with implications of promotion and recognition, but you will lose a lot of your earning potential in this time.

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.
