Pros

The company is growing fast so there are plenty of opportunities for career progression, especially if you are willing to relocate to developing countries.

Cons

Old fashion management style, poor communication and leadership and too many low quality managers. Also, the company is going through SAP implementation which makes life hard for everyone

Company is too political,

Pros

Nice people, business is quite successful

Cons

Too political, I was told to know my place. I joined Kerry as it is a successful business and has high growth potential. This is what I heard in the media. Internally the tune is different. Management obsessed with Lean and lean thinking, lean is a neat idea but has to be flexible in an office environment. No focus on learning/developing staff, the business goes external too much for recruitment. Internal staff should be able to ramp up to a new position faster than a new employee can learn the ins and outs (politics) of the business. I left after I applied for a job and was told I had the skill set but not the experience, job was filled by a college graduate. Communication is poor, conflicting info from management (corporate and regional/local). Expected to work long hours and always be available, but no credit. I worked a lot of weekends but my effort was never acknowledged. A blanket "thanks for all the effort" to multiple teams is not acknowledgment.
