Pros

Exposure to great projects and cross-functional collaboration. Standard benefits, however generous relocation package, if requested. Many programs and chapters in alignment with values and support culture of diversity and inclusion. Great leadership program for newly grads. Access to any levels of management.

Cons

Not as flexible culture due to size of organization. Constant changes and redundancy of the processes. Big focus on bottom line and EBTIDA performance, with not much flexibility for the targets, if you are not achieving KPIs you might want to start looking for another job. Corporate world is detached from the manufacturing sites, like any other corporation.

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
