Pros

Work-life balance, at least in this department. My Manager enhanced this style. They don't call you on weekends. Great brand for your resume (leader of dairy products).

Cons

So much bureaucracy to make even a small change. Lack of technology difficults your day to day job (specially with meetings). Maybe it's not a con for some people, but a relaxing (messy) atmosphere difficults your work if it depends on committed dates. Due to postponements, projects feel like a never-ending journey Lack of world-class methodologies as Six Sigma and Lean to face and reduce waste problems (They focus more on short-term vision than long-term).

Pros

Work-life balance exists and is generally respected. Bonuses can be good, depending on the year and leadership priorities. Strong, reputable brands that look impressive on a résumé. "Some" genuinely great people who work hard despite the environment.

Cons

No meritocracy whatsoever. Promotions and career growth are driven by favoritism, internal alliances, and visibility politics rather than performance or results. Advancement often feels like a popularity contest. “Core values” are largely performative. They are referenced often but ignored when inconvenient, especially at leadership levels. Questionable long-term strategy. Direction changes frequently, priorities shift without explanation, and long-term planning feels weak or reactive. Extremely bureaucratic. Simple decisions require excessive approvals, slowing execution and stifling innovation. Politics over performance. Success depends more on who you align with than what you deliver. If you're not "one of them" or if they don't want to continue paying you your value, they'll find ways to get rid of you. So choose wisely and research the role and team.
