      Fun environment with great career opportunities! Would recommend as an employer :)

      Pros

      Career opportunities are wide - since joining I have been in 3 different roles, all of which I have learned loads and expanding my business and career knowledge. The People at Heineken are really great to work with. I enjoy coming into work - it feels like a team all working towards the same goal/purpose which I really enjoy. It is a fun environment to work in and you are encouraged to be yourself which feel really inclusive.] Good work life balance! :)

      Cons

      I am office based and there is a expectation you are in 3 days per week - I enjoy this as I like talking to people and having those interactions. However, it does remove flexibility. Saying that, if you need to work from home for a certain reason on those days - you are able to.
