      Great place to work but not like it once was.

      Pros

      Flexible working is expected and work life balance is encouraged (on paper). Nice, bright people around Great brands and forward thinking policies Cool environment to work in

      Cons

      Lack of 'big picture' thinking. Everything moves so fast that good ideas aren't given a chance to mature. People want to make their name on new ideas. Some of the most senior people have lack of understanding of 'real' issues. Travel bans as well as smaller teams with wider remit are a challenge

      Poor Long term planning

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing Brands, Very talented staff, great pay & perks, superb training for Marketing staff but not for Sales staff. Superb leave for Management (30 days/year). Great advancement opportunities, great feeling of cultural history and team spirit.

      Cons

      Very selfish Board and Senior Management with self-centred short term views. Too many Chiefs in middle/Senior Management not telling whole truth to board. Too much politics, cliques and favouritism. "Yes Men" prospered under ineffective Senior Managers while talent suppressed. Changing over time. Too many short term contract workers today. No cultural continuity - that's why market share has been dropping for 25 years and competitors gaining all the time. Accountants ruining the company for short term share considerations

      Pros

      Great opportunity for growth if you are willing to move around the world. Great products to enjoy through the Brand Ambassador Program.

      Cons

      It's a large company, and as much as the company tries to move fast, it is slow to change in areas where change is needed. There is also a mixed bag when it comes to senior leadership - some fantastic leaders, and some who are only around because they've been around forever and have been passed around rather than cut from the team.
