Fast paced, demanding culture. Not for everyone.

Pros

Fast paced, challenging & demanding environment that rewards generously if results are achieved. Opportunities to drive autonomously within a collaborative structure. And to switch roles dramatically for those interested in trying new things.

Cons

Investment banking culture which loves jerks who are geniuses.

A Perfect Disaster

Pros

Pay is decent for the industry, great brands and smart (if disillusioned) people and work-life balance isn't terrible (usually).

Cons

Management is singularly focused on bottom line at the exclusion of all else, creating a a constant state of emergency. If you are not Brazilian, chances for advancement are somewhat limited, especially at senior levels. Constant planning cycles prevent actual accomplishment of goals outlined by planning cycles and bonus targets drive everything, at the exclusion of what is right, strategic and rational. Sr. Management is not interested in engagement of their teams -- solely with results, which leads to poor results. Everyone is afraid to stand up to and disagree with often misguided decisions from senior leadership that are based on nothing but intuition with no support. No process whatsoever, no institutional learning or knowledge. It's complete chaos getting things done because people move around so often. Focus on very young (and often inexperienced) talent only from top 5 B schools. If you're not a GMT or GMBA from one of these schools, opportunities for career advancement are limited as well. Employee communications and HR functions are among the worst I have seen. Overall morale is poor.

Pros

Fast-moving company, very focused, clear objectives defined and accountability placed at the individual not groups or committees

Cons

They neglect the people part of the company. Since SABmiller was bought they haven't stopped cutting positions and demanding more work. Also individual benefits are almost all gone and working climate is bad, a lot of people are anxious of loosing their job.
