Pros

Great Individuals in the Creative Teams, young and talented , Great Perfumers , Senior and very successful. Great mix of youth and seniors in the Creative Teams that delivers results. Some good individual Commercial & Sales Managers.

Cons

Management , complex ,political and lack focus, totally uncoordinated and confused strategy, lack of talent in Regional General Management and Senior Sales Team & HR . General Management & HR acknowledge lack of work-life balance but prepared to ignore and take advantage. Sales have lost their drive and initiative. No leadership in HR.

Pros

Entrepreneurial Environment, Fast Moving Projects, 360 understanding of the fragrance market across different categories, great senior management, great business, great creative centers, great ability to work across regions and dept (high level of collaboration), great leadership examples

Cons

not process oriented culture, limited ability to plan ahead, 80% of French Sr Management (perhaps being an intl company it would make sense to have managers representing more regional diversity), could improve its strategic ability to create the vision for the future, marketing could do more? very reactive work...
