Pros

Very knowledgeable and fun colleagues. Good working atmosphere with other researchers.

Cons

Hierarchical management that is not knowledgeable. No ability to grow within the company. No contact with other divisions within the company. Very limited autonomy, limited freedom, and no clear purpose. Too much middle management that are protecting their own place.

Pros

International environment, well known brands, accountability, empowerment, opportunity to work in different channels with different market dynamics.

Cons

salaraies and benefits clearly below the market , employees are not respected as people, they are just employee numbers that generates revenues, no training, lack of organization and communication (all departments). Lack of clear long term strategy from the headquarter. Short term strategy based on cost savings. Too conservative in the change making
