"Let's all show off how great we are"

Pros

Decent, flexible working hours, generally friendly, responsibility given to you, the benefits package is pretty decent

Cons

Hard to get on with your day-to-day tasks as everybody is constantly competing to be better than everyone else! A lot of showmanship without always anything to show for it, imported NPD meaning not always right for the market but expected to launch regardless, a lot of fire-fighting, & if they decide they don't like you they WILL get rid without even trying to help the situation beforehand.

Pros

Working with intelligent people and fascinating products. Company values are positive and allow a lot of room for growth, and there is plenty of room for a diverse change if you get bored in an existing role.

Cons

Complexity and size makes it very difficult for the organisation to adapt to change. Too many meetings, required because the knowledge is silo'd and there are many stakeholders. Lack of significant budgets to really maximise the opportunities, also limiting the scope of what can be achieved.
