- Growing International Corporation - Opportunity to quickly advance - Great for people looking for company politics and a corporate ladder to climb.

Cons

- No work life balance, expect to but in and maintain 60 plus hours to be in contention for advancement. - Corporate culture is very does not encourage flexibility even though they tell employees it does. - Incompetent lower and middle management. Nepotism, unrealistic expectations for employees, a lack of respect, and clickish. - High Turnover in most departments. - Pay is mediocre/low relative to work expectations. - In office dress code is essentially business professional, especially for men. Expect to wear a suit and tie. - Very strict office etiquette, must push in chair at desks or get written up.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
