Pros
I'm proud to be a current Ferrara employee. There's been a lot of growth and expansion in the years that I've been here, and it's really exciting to work for a company that is experiencing high growth and innovation. The fast-pace makes an environment that's supportive of new ideas, and there are several opportunities to take ownership, make an impact, and grow within your work and within the organization as a whole. The free candy is a fun perk, too.
Cons
The fast-paced environment will not be a fit for everyone, but for those that thrive in that environment, this is an excellent place to grow your career.

Iconic brands
Capable coworkers
Cool office, and good location
Real opportunities to build tangible experience
Cons
Very cut throat / unforgiving culture
Poor work / life balance
Poor IT systems
Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast”
High employee turnover
Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level
Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
