Pros
Good pay if you’re at the beginning of your career- around 20% above market rate. Promote young fresh grads very quickly.
Cons
If your LGBT or a minority, you can forget progressing your career here unless you’re part of their gmba or GMT program. I’ve witnessed so many minorities that were hired externally fired within a year and replaced with a GMBA or a GMT. It’s not a diversity friendly place and you can forget about family oriented culture (which does exist in other beer companies like Heineken) It’s a Brazilian /Caucasian good old boys club at the top. The only minorities you see that hold any sort of position came from their trainee programs. Work experience does not matter in terms of career progression especially if you care externally They also promoted their “holy” people very quickly - we are talking about a band level every 1.5 Years. People make the same mistakes over again and very little direction from so called “new management”. The company is large purely from acquisitions- shareholders really doubt if they can grow organically like other cpg companies. You can also forget work life balance- requests can come in Saturday at 11am the weekend of Labor Day and be expected to be done by 10am the day after Labor Day. Expect 60 hour work weeks to be the norm and don’t think you’ll be appreciated for it Moreover if you’re performing average and they don’t want you, they’ll find multitudes of reasons to push you out or move you to a role in a not so great location. Unless you’re in the Brazilian / good old boys club/ GMT/GMBA, I would stay clear. This place will suck you dry.
