Pros
Good benefits - medical, dental, 401k match, what once was a pension is gone. Still a strong sense of culture, socially and environmentally conscious company
Cons
Changes in corporate structure, gigantic global amounts of red tape, commoditization of pretty much everything, layoffs on scheduled basis, pandering to stockholders at expense of loyal employees

Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear about your concerns, please do share these with your line manager.
Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.
Cons
Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
