Pros

- Smart, talented people across the business - Good learning opportunities if you like structured execution - Clear expectations and high standards - Office and Snacks - Benefits

Cons

- Restrictive Brand, they don't have guidelines; they have rules. - Creativity and experimentation are often discouraged unless backed by strong data - Work can feel heavily controlled, with limited autonomy and frequent rework - Some teams operate with a strong fear-of-failure culture - Feedback and collaboration can be inconsistent — politics/ego can outweigh expertise - Process maturity varies a lot, and resourcing is unbalanced - Stress and burnout risk are real in some teams - Pay progression is slow (you may not feel recognised or rewarded for delivering)
