Pros
- Decent pay (if and only if bonus pays out - which doesn't happen often) - Ambitious people - Some free beer - International mobility opportunities (but not for everyone) - Open to moving people crossfunctionally
Cons
- Moves people around roles and functions so frequently that there is no historical knowledge on teams and people are trying to figure out just how to do the basics of their job. Does not value specialists. - Does NOT care about people. Treats people like any other piece of machinery. You are expected to sell your soul to this company. Those who are promoted are in the office early and stay late - regardless of how efficient they're actually working. You will work and travel on weekends, take meetings outside typical working hours (and be expected to be in the office). DO NOT believe anyone who tells you it is not about facetime, just results. They are lying. Unless you are a workaholic, expect to give everything to this company and either burnout or be pushed out. - Results oriented, except constantly cuts resources needed to help employees to achieve their results. Expect already lean teams to become leaner and to have very small budgets for a large company. - Generally toxic, negative work environment. Cutthroat and surprisingly unfriendly for a beer company. You cannot trust anyone. You are all competing to move up or out, so no one really is there to make friends. People are extremely defensive and quick to point out each others failures, which quickly takes a toll on relationships. - Up or out culture based on results + who "knows" you and likes you, so if you are not South American or a White male, much harder to move up and make connections (regardless of your results). Very fratty, macho work environment and leadership styles. Very few leaders who are women, LGBTQ, African Americans, and Asians, and given the culture of the company, and its deep problems, don't expect this to change. - Not a family friendly company. Men rarely take leave and women who do take maternity leave text and email their teams throughout it. Not flexible to family needs or family emergencies. You need to be okay being contacted 24/7/365. Everything is treated as urgent, even when it is not. - Too many more to list.
