      The worse place I've ever worked

      Scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's better than flipping burgers.

      Cons

      A very hierarchical organization, with an incredible amount of internal politics with a bureaucratic, slow moving, top-heavy management. Senior management expects you to be deferential, conformist and the only way to get on is to suck up, Payrises are consistently below inflation. The attitude of HR is "if you don't like it you can leave" (this is a literal quote from an HR manager commenting about a group with a staff turnover of over 30%); to senior management you are simply a cog in the machinery and you can be substituted at any time (no matter how many years of experience, degrees or qualifications you may have)

      Great compensation but lack of culture and growth opportunities

      Brand manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation is the biggest pro. The second biggest pro is the brands you get to work on are great and often loved by consumers. You all have access to a lot of tools and resources.

      Cons

      Complete lack of culture is the biggest con of that is something that is important to you, it boils down to who is on your team. Second biggest con is the organizational mess from all the re-orgs and typical corporate bs. Last is there is very little room for promotional growth or clear career paths.
