Pros

Great work/life balance and emphasis on celebration in the workplace In depth partnership with cross-functional partners makes for very broad involvement in the business Finance is a tight-knit and welcoming community, with college recruiting, on-boarding, and professional development largely organized by people within the function, creating a real feeling of ownership within the organization.

Cons

Can be very hierarchical, with opaque advancement policies, making it frustrating to figure out how to distinguish yourself as a high achiever

Pros

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.
