Pros

Working on some of the most recognisable brands in the world was a great experience. Everything you would expect and more from a large corporate organisation. There was great autonomy in all the roles I did and my managers trusted my judgement to get things done. There was good opportunity for progression and being a large global company the opportunities were endless. The additional benefits on top of basic salary, pension and share scheme, are something I am definitely going to miss.

Cons

Sometimes the decision making took far too long and also involved far too many people to get things moving quickly. Re organisations were common across the company and occurred every 18 months to 2 years
