      Pros

      Great benefits, fast paced, fun people, inspiring communications, company activities, free icecream and fantastic office location.

      Cons

      Staff were over worked, no real company induction, didn't know who to contact or what I was supposed to be doing, the level of long term sick is the highest I've seen in any organisation. It seems that the culture is to work people until they are completely burnt out and then expect them to go off sick until they return again and repeat the cycle. I saw this happen at all levels of the organisation and decided to move on before it happened to me. This is an issue at all levels of the orgnanisation as I saw it happen to senior leaders and support staff alike.

      Love the people, great mentors, wonderful team members. Very welcoming office and great relationships. I love coming to work!

      Cons

      Under resourced and underpaid for the skills I bring to the table, which contributes to retention issues

      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.
