Pros

For junir people / young graduates interested in marketing of FMCG, this is one of the best places to get experience.

Cons

Short-term (quaterly or even monthly) decisions driven by recent business performance over-rule the yearly strategy led by consumer preferences. Complex decision taking, alwyas shared reposnsibility among a group of people (even on senior levels0 makes decision takign slow. Lack of knowledge transfer (whena person changes job, the knwoledge experties leaves with him/her)
