Pros

Worked at the European Headquarters. Learned a lot about marketing, paper, printing and greenwashing. Overall it felt like a supportive environment. It's always great to work with colleagues from other countries/cultures/continents, it gives a sense of family and most colleagues were awfully kind and fun to work with.

Cons

I guess it depends on your age group. Sappi is an old animal and the HR policy is probably not adapted to millenials. But then Google has its drawbacks. It's always interesting to gain experience in B2B, it's like working backstage. And the industry is highly interesting, challenging, driven by people passionnate about the product. Paper has bad rap but it's a cleaner product than cell phones! Sorry I have more pros than cons here.
