Competitive and bent on catching up with L'Oreal. Efficient and process-oriented, but creativity hampered by hierarchy.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very efficient, process-oriented and quick-to-market. One will learn a lot about project management. There is a focus on innovation and trends. There is hunger and passion to be #1.

Cons

This is a perspective based on working in the global office. It is very political and hierarchal. It has a "Devil Wears Prada" environment and sometimes you wonder who you can trust. It is management based on fear. Employee feedback is very subjective, with comments sometimes going like, "Don't be so [insert nationality here]." Consumer needs is not the focus, but rather what management thinks will work or not.

Pros

Stable organization in a mature market, opportunities for international assignments and international travel, good benefits, high degree of autonomy in working environment

Matrixed German organization. Unless you work at a corporate center, your opportunities for advancement are limited. High number of layoffs over the past 5 years. All decisions must go through corporate HQ in Germany.
