      Pros

      Great brands, friendly and talented people, good employment policies (e.g. excellent maternity cover), sense of purpose beyond simply making money,

      Cons

      Its a massive company - this means that (a) there's a hierarchy of management and (b) the people who develop brands and marketing activities are often different to the people who deploy these activities in the marketplace. So a lot of people can influence decisions - so be prepared for plenty of structured processes and lots of stakeholder management.

      Pros

      Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

      Cons

      Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
