Pros

Good Benefits, Good Salaries, annual raises/bonuses. It's actually an excellent place to work if you are in any division but GMI (Global Marketing Innovation).

Cons

- The GMI (Global Marketing Innovation) division is led by a CMO who is a massive egotist with extremely abrasive mannerisms towards staff (and has an alleged history of being so). The cliquish manner of departmental leadership leads the division to be rife with both wrongful terminations and retaliations by management. - Because of leadership, the atmosphere in GMI is extremely cut-throat and everyone from the CMO on down will not hesitate to sabotage you, as well as twist and turn things as much as possible to pass blame on to staff in order to protect leadership positions.

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
