Pros

Challenging roles, individual development, smart and talented co-workers, well-known brands and some very strong leaders.

Cons

Recognition and advancement are based less on performance and results and more on relationships and style. Work and communication style is a very important factor in your "success". Alignment and efficiency are also weaknesses in parts of this organization.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
