Pros

- Strongly branded and positive culture - Smart and interesting people - Truely global environment with presence in 150 plus markets - Great and iconic products plus benefits

Cons

- There is still very much a culture of who you know to advance in the organsiation rather than what you do and what you deliver - hard work is often less recognised than good stakeholder selling skills - Too many reorganisations globally - on average once every 2 years creates constant uncertainty and little or no loyalty - Some of the corporate speak is very 80s..'think and act like an owner', 'be restless and agile'....brings a wry smile to most individuals - There is an overelance on the 'how' of delivery to the detriment of the 'what' you deliver to justify decreasing bonuses and annual salary increases
