Pros

Personal time off benefits are great- if people can respect it health benefits and associated costs- on par opportunities to rotate roles speed to adapt to market changes open work environment - no individual offices works well for collaboration your colleagues kick butt, work hard and most are very intelligent and nice people

Cons

zero work/life balance- long work hours, weekends, while on PTO because "every single thing is a fire drill even if non business critical its all about who "likes" you and being in the "in crowd"- some people are promoted and rotated into roles every year or sometimes with 9 months with no wins and no results on the business they managed. These newly minted "senior manager and directors" have zero people management skills , no professional etiquette and barely /no experience yet a leading teams of highly skilled professionals. the integration has been a disaster- no additional support for existing functions , yet responsible for getting everything done with no end in sight business strategy changes weekly - run like a bodega

Pros

Very people focus company , believe in their potential and offers the great tools/training for development , allows cross functional and regional moved which are quite enriching yet strong company culture that is either loved or hated .

Cons

Compared to others FMCG processes and procedures are not the strong point , although improvements are being done currently. There are some written/unwritten rules but always there is exception of the rule very ¨French¨
