Pros

Some great brands (Axe/Lynx, Magnum, Dove) Global coverage Diverse set of colleagues - some very bright Some big budgets Decent media spend Ridiculously good maternity leave deal

Cons

Adverse to taking risks Leadership by consensus rather than vision Slow to take decisions and often make U-turns Frequently lose out to P&G Often flips from being too self-reverential to hopeless self-contempt Lots of 'plodders' - people who do the minimum Employee pool becoming less bright - obedient process monkeys, rather than free thinking intellectuals
