Pros

One of the best brand names in the corporate world. Incredible opportunities to learn best in class brand marketing. Additional level of respect that comes along with working with a market leader.

Cons

Lower salaries at lower levels and in general much lower than market rates. Biases in compensation bands. Inflation based increments much lower than price increases of the company's own brands. Cultural misfits and corporate politics abound. Little long term succession planning and development of corporate leaders.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
