Pros

Given a lot of responsibility, opportunity and trust. They are flexible on where you work and the majority of people are very approachable.

Cons

There are a lot of re-orgs going that affects morale. They aren't great at day to day engagement, it's a little basic for such a huge company.

Pros

Great Brands. Work-life balance.

Cons

Heavy politics. Decisions are more based in popularity and votes from directors, instead of facts or hierarchy (accountability is low, as decisions are taken by consensus)
