Pros

- Opportunity to be enterpreneurial. You can make a visible difference (but you have to be resilient) - Recognition of achievements. - Support work life balance. - Some really great people.

Cons

- It is not what it says on the lable. It is neither a pharmaceutical nor an FMCG company. Lot of young, dynamic FMCG people brought in, who want to leave the co. after a very short time. They got frustrated by the slow pace and the attitude of some departments which are still dominated by old pieces of furniture. - It can be a bit too ad hoc at times. - Some poor managers.

Pros

Benefits, salary, company car, competent reps to work with.

Cons

Sales tracking data is questionable. Management likes to keep reps in the closet regarding their future, and the future of the companies various divisions.

Pros

Good benefits and a good pipeline. They have a work from home policy and flex-time. Free gym and the on-site health care is great.

Cons

No job growth, limited career development. Promises of promotions, and then they don't go through when the time comes. Lack of training or definitive policies. Each team does the same task different ways. Poor management.
