Pros

great opportunities for international careers, fast paced, no red tape, good compensation package, multi cultural, business focused in all the positions / functions, wide range of exciting brands / products to work on

Cons

marmite like, could be ruthless, little upfront thinking: let's do it... then fix it, struggling at implementing their vision (poor cultural fit with the Health Care industry), getting too focused on very short term. Lip service on people related values: you are only worth your last 6 months and usually considered as an expensive commodity
