Pros

A group of new HR employees are posting many very good reviews in stereotype language. know the truth by reading the reviews with ratings from 1-3. think 1000 times before joining this company. Everyday someone goes without reasons.

Cons

Disaster for managers and executives. Sword always hanging on the head and daily some changes in plans.

Pros

Unique in how the company and people care about the performance we deliver, the inclusion of all employees plus the impact on communities and society. Genuinely have freedom to determine the impact you want to have, the way you want to work, and to try out new ideas and build your career. Working with such iconic brands you feel privileged and excited every day to be holding the torch for their future. A globally connected company, that despite its size is only 30,000 people means it feels like a real community and somewhere that is both ambitious and incredibly fun to work at with people you care about.

Cons

It is good to see the business making changes in areas that are needed. Being less internally focused and more geared to customers and consumers will make sure we focus on the things that are fewer and most important, and remove some unnecessary complexity that has increased over time by being too inward looking. Also because it has been so internally driven for so long it can be hard to sometimes see that changes being made in the company are not only essential, they are being driven (often far harder!) in most other companies in order to stay competitive in this fast changing world. Need to keep doing more to bring the outside world in to keep perspective on what is truly important.

Pros

Company policies and culture is good. Salary is good. Everything else ruins you life, if you are in RPA team.

Cons

The senior management of RPA team acts like rowdies and abuses employees. There is utter stress in RPA team and you will be treated like dogs. 12-14 hrs of work is compulsory and deadlines are nonsense. You will be asked to complete huge projects in 2 days and if you don't, they will ruin your life by stressing the hell out. You will be forced to work even on Saturday's, almost every Saturday. 0 work life balance, actually -ve work life balance. Senior management does not even know how to handel projects. They run the team like fish market. Other teams looks OK and company culture is good, pay is good. HR is namesake. Except for RPA team, which is run by goons.
