Slow, bureaucratic and highly politizised company

Business Outlook

Pros

Good marketing school for new beginners. Some nice work colleagues and office environment. Real activities to improve sustainability.

Cons

Extremely slow to develop products and implement activities in markets. Matrix organization impacts on slow (or none) decision making process and the reaching of agreements, showing how highly politizised this organisation is. Both above mentioned aspects makes it frustrating to work for this company, especially if you are at senior level. Very poor work life balance. In order to succeed in this company you have to either live for the company (do not have a personal life) or be "sponsored" by someone inside (idolize a senior manager).

Pros

A well known brand, Global 500

Cons

It's a gigantic dollar store with all emphasis from SJW ideology. They force HR and other people to attend meetings that are complete nonsense. HR is made of liberal arts major students who know nothing

Pros

Flexible Working Environment (if you need to work from home in the middle of the week to go to the doctor for example, it's fine). As long as you get your work done, people don't tend to care when you leave the office etc. Easy access from NYC with use of company shuttle (you pay for it but it's minimal) Company truly believes and lives it's motto around purpose and sustainability Ability to work across multiple categories Top notch research and data capabilities. Although there are a lot of processes, there is a rarely a function or job that doesn't have built in tools to help you succeed

Cons

Pay growth year of year is minimal. Only way to get a good salary increase is to get promoted and this can be hard moving up levels depending on what stage of the year the company is in.
