Pros

Teamwork, flexibility, working environment, benefits, corporate culture, renewed innovation and focus; some great and iconic brands; well-respected; starting to engage in consumer-centric development and marketing; structured and well thought-out professional development and career planning.

Cons

Can be strangely competitive due to opaque performance ranking process that pits staff against one another; consistent unrealistic forecasting leads to wasted time and efforts as teams throw everything at trying to hit impossible targets; long-term strategy is sometimes forsaken for immediate results; attached to the product at the expense of the consumer.

Pros

People are good, so peer learning is good. Provides very Good learning depending upon team, work is good\bad as per team Work Culture no more promotes employee care. Its all cost cutting. Employee Care and facilities are moderate compared to peers.

Cons

Compensation - They pay good compared to peers. Internal Change - The process of internal change of team makes the employee to resign by force by current manager, depending upon ego of manager. If you are not mine, you can't be of others also. :)
