Pros

The people are top notch, and the company has many well known, successful brands. The MBM philosophy encourages innovation (although the approval process is still slow and painful).

Cons

They do not believe in annual merit-based raises, and instead state that your bonus will increase year-over-year as you increase your contribution to the company. However, there is a complete lack of transparency for bonuses: you will not know your bonus percentage target, what the bonus pool is, how much the company and division performance affects it, nor how much your own performance affects your bonus. Promotion opportunities are limited. Your manager will be notified whenever you apply for an internal position, and can prevent you from moving to a different position anywhere in the company. While it is an excellent company to gain experience in the short term, you will want to seek your next position outside of GP in under 5 years.

Pros

Big company with lots of opportunities; great people; great location. If you have a great supervisor, then the sky is truly the limit.

Cons

MBM incentive program is a subjective philosophy. Instead of performance based incentives, it really depends on your supervisor's view of the value you create.
