Pros

1. Free lunch and transport 2. Diversity seems to be good in Flavours but not so much in S&C, where everyone seems to come from the stone age.

Cons

1. Slow paced. People just raking in the cash and doing nothing. Some bosses have been in the organisation for decades... 2. No progression whatsoever. Lack of transparency in terms of progression, and pay scale. 3. Throwing the word AI and analytics around but not really fully understanding it. 4. Too much focus on perfumers and FDMs as stars of the company and the 5 figure salaries that accompany it. Have yet to see very outstanding products in the last 5 years.
