Pros

Bar none, hands down one of the most innovative lifestyle marketing companies to ever exist. Once upon a time, Red Bull was the leader in innovative consumer marketing. They are always coming up with something new, different and exciting to market to it's loyal brand followers. You are definitely enabled to drive your own projects the way you want them to be complete, and your creativity is never compartmentalized into a box. As for your co-workers - these are the kind of people you WANT to be your friends: smart, engaging, a little crazy and always willing to do something that may or may not be against the rules.

Cons

No work/life balance. Compensation for work is poor, no incentive structure in marketing because "you're working at all the cool events anyway", bonus and raises are a joke. The expectation is your life is your job and your job is your life. Also - they currently have a big problem with turnover and brand v. product lovers.
