Pros

The company is very large, as it owns various brands worldwide. There is opportunity to grow depending on your upper management. Discounts on brands they own, profit sharing...etc.

Cons

Some of the management will act as if they are listening, but will totally ignore your concern unless it affects them directly. More sick days and less targeting of certain employees.

Pros

Big organization with lots of resources to innovate. Hard-working, driven people wanting to make a difference or advance up the career ladder. Getting faster at innovating.

Cons

Can be highly process driven. Using a lot of quant research to validate/kill new ideas. Trying to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. They're in New Jersey, though offices have been refurbished and are quite contemporary compared to before.
