      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Respect for people: the company encourages to treat colleagues with respect regardless of how you feel about them from the start. Shouting, losing your temper and not containing one's emotions is generally discouraged. - Work-life balance: management respects your personal commitments, no one really counts vacations and time off, can work from home at any time (as long as you get the job done) - Advertising edge: great place to master communicating emotional benefits, get experience with digital, RM and event-marketing. Not all classic FMCG companies are into all these disciplines. Great place to develop really break-through creative - as most brands share global communication platforms. - Obsessed with execution: This is THE place to learn a hands-on detailed approach to execution - mostly around BTL programs, sampling, the likes.

      Cons

      - Consensus: Making calls and getting decisions from top management is difficult. Projects require consensus from a ton of stakeholders. Slows everything down. Conflict is discouraged. - No ownership: Lack of bottom-up leadership, lack of total project and P&L ownership. It is not uncommon for brand managers to not know what a P&L is and how they drive it. Directors often interfere with executional detail and steal work from reports. - Strategy: Often drafted by an internal consulting division, or at director levels. Brand managers rarely lead on strategy vs. how it is done in P&G or RB. - Promotions: No consistent promotion-for-delivery culture. No stringent up-or-out culture. Some promotions seemed pretty random.

      Pros

      Quality portfolio. Always good to work for #1. Had many more resoures and tools to compete in marketplace as compared to competitors.

      Cons

      As with any compny that is this large. Employees are numbers and are not really treated as part of the process or family.
