Pros

Prior to the new CMO I loved this job! Hybrid work schedule, household name brands, amazing pay and work life balance &most of the people in marketing were great people to work with!

Cons

New CMO cares more about getting schmoozed by external agencies to feed his ego than actually doing any thing of value for the companies he joins. It isn’t hard to read up on his reputation of destroying what he touches but now he has unfortunately added KDP to the list of companies that he has gutted, repeating almost comically his plan from Pfizer. He comes in, “evaluates”, conducts mass layoffs, and then goes on a self press tour where he just throws around buzz words without actually implementing a plan. He completely dissolved the internal creative agency despite them winning multiple awards with no real way to offset the workload or expense. It is just so disappointing that the rest of leadership has turned a blind eye to his recklessness, completely disregarding the lives of the people who work for them!

Pros

Employee Benefits, Good Insurance, Hybrid work culture, Good Pay. Company has been growing in the last few years. Some talented colleagues who genuinely want to do good work Opportunities to learn if you are self‑driven Decent exposure to cross‑functional projects

Cons

Micromanagement is common, but not in all the teams.Managers are promoted without leadership experience, and some are given teams to manage without proper training or people‑management skills. Professional boundaries are not always respected. Personal information shared in confidence can sometimes influence work decisions, which creates discomfort and mistrust. Leave approvals are inconsistent, and employees may feel pressured not to take time off even when needed. Isolation tactics are used, where certain employees are excluded from discussions or updates, leading to frustration and disengagement. Communication is top‑down, and important updates are not shared with lower‑level team members, making it difficult to stay aligned or feel included.
