Pros

Good starting company for R&D. Managers are pretty good. Very political so make sure to cultivate and maintain a VP advocate.

Cons

Layoffs will happen every 18-24 months. Morale has fallen since 2011 and never recovered due to this. Marketing partners don’t develop a strong understanding of the consumer and brands before rotating so hard to see good ideas to fruition.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
