Pros

- Nice healthy perks: fruit, yogurts, coffee, bread, milk, cookies, soup. - Good for young and/or inexperienced people: you will learn a lot in just a few months (business development, operations. marketing, processes, fashion market, data, tech, etc... and, of course, office politics). - Good for top-executives: good pay and the opportunity to travel the world. - Some top and nice professionals to work with and learn from. - "Jumping forward" business due to its visionary founder: every year there are always new investors coming in and new ideas/opportunities to explore, learn from (by some) and invest.

Cons

- Average low wages when comparing to competitors (all areas, all locations), except for top management (head, director and above). - Really bad middle to top management: either inexperienced or "very old school" (read: control & command), usually very bad listeners or completely powerless, being most of them arrogant and/or control freak. - Highly hierarchical structure with lots of levels, lots of silos, and with a very top-down command & control culture. - How does a company value its own Values? They do not count for promotions, raises, bonus or whatever. Zero. - The only thing that counts for your career development is how well you manage the office politics, or the position you got on the career ladder when you were hired in the first place (the higher the better). - In short: toxic environment due really bad middle to top managers (not all, but almost).
