Pros

You are in a cohort of brilliant people who are all coming in to the position the same time as you.

Cons

Horrible experience. The company, particularly within marketing, is extremely political and filled with toxicity. Lack of true diversity, and I’m not just talking race and sexual orientation; this extends to diversity of thought. There is nothing in place to promote good management. Everything is about cost cutting, no true innovation.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
