Good school with excellent brands. Company with good intentions and potential if leadership is right.

Talks too much but still lot needs to be achieved. Sets goals on the spur of the moment. Does not have clear long term plans bottom up.

Pros

Excellent financial track record, very stable. Strong global coverage and focus. Very focused on a few product categories. With a few minor exceptions the company really walks its talk when it comes to values and managing with respect. Excellent opportunities for professional development with a global career. Excellent people and company culture - very open, team based, truly global

Cons

Culture is quite conservative and consensus based, which at times limits abilities to try new things and limits risk taking. Some opportunities to be more innovative and push the boundaries.
