Pros

The culture is very paternalistic. Benefits and pay, especially incentive pay, are strong. They offer flexible work arrangements that provide a lot of options for work/life balance. Summer Fridays are particularly nice. It's cool to work in a company of iconic brands and be able to identify with them. They've made a decent attempt at a career management process, and there are many opportunities to move around in the organization.

Cons

The corporate culture is very consensus-driven and heirarchical. Often projects get pushed out or are abandoned for no apparent reason. The organization is very tenure-driven--most senior leadership are 30-year veterans. Mid-career new hires can have serious challenges getting traction and building solid, meaningful relationships.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
