Pros

They take people development quite seriously and, usually, there´s less pressure than in other companies. At least in the digital / web field. There's lots of development options within the company, national and internationally. And, being such a massive brand, it really opens doors for you.

Cons

It's very burocratic, and with the time it becomes repetitive and not challenging. Especially in digital, they're slow to incorporate new trends. Digital and IT salaries are lower than the benchmark.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
