Pros

Top Tier company, extremely solid with almost no risk of being "kicked out" or "purged" A great place to learn, without extreme pressure (in some departments) for results A deep dive in the values of an historical Italian family, will enrich your profile and expose (in some departments) Lots of possibility to travel

Cons

No career / development plans at all Managerial decisions takes months/year since the internal processes are very complex and unstructured The managerial criteria used in the decision making are often underestimated in view of politics and family intro missions Money is often thrown out of the window with bad investments decisions and cost cutting is not applied equally throughout the Group.

Pros

Normally management offers flexible hours as long as you preform. Good company to work for if you have a young family and no aspirations to move up the latter. Ferrero does offer very good medical benefits.

Cons

Family oriented organization and continued to be promoted in this manner. Perhaps, 15 years ago when management actually cared about employee and did not allow inexperienced and selfish HR manager move in from overseas to run every part of the organization. Never understood how one individual can be capable of making decisions for every facet of the company without any technical or direct experience in those areas of expertise. Anyone working for the company can notice how negative the atmosphere has developed over the past year. Employees are promised certain positions or promotions within a time frame which in the end does not materialize. No training or support offered. Any new employees have to be a self-motivator and DO NOT expect that anyone is going to be there to show you the ropes.

Pros

You can really feel an active part of this glocal company, which sees people as a true resource. During my years in Ferrero I improved my technical and personal skills, thanks to formation course (Nielsen, Kantar,...) and an high profile of senior management. Ferrero has great values that influence your daily job in a very efficient way.

Cons

Maybe the processes between headquarter and field could be improved
