Pros
Easy access to top management and big brands attract talent. Good cost cutters...but now pinching pennies and missing dollars. Casual dress code. 2 cases of free beer a month and plenty of schwag. Brito (CEO) consistently named best of the best....by shareholders. Many talented people there striving hard to make a difference.
Cons
Great managers not valued, awful managers not held accountable. Sometimes a meritocracy, but often not...its a very political, very lean, organization where dissent is not tolerated. Commercial (Sales/Marketing) running around in circles - lots of work, little productivity and talent (Global MBAs and Global Management Trainees) fleeing fast...incredible turnover even among the most privileged employees. And if you aren't recruited from a top school into a training program...you're a second class citizen at best. Everyone paid at 80% of market rate, and bonus payout in US usually around 50%, if lucky. Work life balance? Nope. Senior management often heard saying to treat employees like slaves. Awful onboarding (many employees spend two weeks trying to get a computer working and gain access to basic systems) and while some HR is great, others create a culture of fear. Lack of investment in the basic tools needed to do our jobs well.
