Pros

Collaborative, friendly culture Beautiful office, great perks: in-house doctor's office, salon and cafes

Cons

Management is conservative and overly hierarchical - this is not a place for someone interested in developing leading edge innovation Overly bureaucratic - there's way too many meetings before the meeting, and hand holding that goes on to make decisions and get things done Promotions are based more on politics and people liking you than actual marketing capability

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.
