Pros

Great work life balance International Great way to meet new people Good to gain experience in Great portfolio of brands Good perks

Cons

Too many people get promoted on 'who' they know. Too many reorganizations, resulting in chaos, low morale and job uncertainty. Public image and internal practices are not always aligned. No promotion under a certain level. Some departments are frustratingly slow and unhelpful. Endless processes which slow everything down.

Pros

Bright people, exciting sector, truly international

Cons

Appointed multiple senior managers who don’t really care about their teams - only self promotion & their bonus. More political & back- stabbing than it used to be. Some senior managers lack authenticity.
