Just a mess

Pros

Good benefits, profit sharing, social environment, product allowance, company trips

Cons

Everything else. Lean resources in departments leads to employee burnout from overtime, no respect for personal time off- have to always be connected, constant reorganization, hiring too many expats that are not experts/specialized in the roles they throw them in, French favoritism, HR always in a state of disarray, poor management at the exec level, good employees quit or laid off instead of upper management making leadership changes. Nothing good about the work. You lose skills working here. If you want to stay competitive in your profession, move on and get experience at better companies instead of wasting time at Pernod. Everything is 5+ years behind other mid-size to large organizations. Corp support departments are NOT valued in this company.

Pros

They provide you free alcohol via lots of unnecessary boondoggles, time off over the holidays, and the coffee is good

Cons

Politically motivated culture based on who your alliances are with or you ability to kiss the correct rear ends. Upper management loves the inauthentic brown nosing they receive from lower level team members. Promotions are based on "who you know" versus performance or potential. The high volume of low value work is defeating as the company is extremely reactive to external competitors. There are a number of category leading brands that behave insecurely and expect growth by doing the same things every year and refuse to challenge / lead the market. Resources are managed poorly and often allocated to the incorrect departments.
