Business Outlook

Pros

Great company to start your marketing career and gain multi-brand experience Given a great deal of autonomy and leadership opportunities early-on Solid marketing training for new MBAs Extremely well-respected marketing organization with powerhouse brands Many international opportunities into U.S. Smart, hard-working, professional peers Business casual dress code Employee-paid shuttle van from Manhattan to NJ location

Cons

Close to no opportunity at Director level or higher Career development can be too political Imports Manager+ talent from outside U.S. for U.S. roles (cheaper) Consolidation has led to extremely heavy workloads Bureaucracy can hinder speed Not very innovative Not enough cross-pollinization between Foods & Personal Care
