      Pros

      Fantastic brands to work with and strong international ties with the wider business. Big opportunities to move around the world if you want to progress with the company on a grander scale.

      Cons

      Change of senior management resulted in a change of culture. This did not work well for people who were unable to embrace the changes and were stuck in the past. The business is not very agile and open to roles that are perceived to be "outside of the box".
