Pros
Organization and professionalism, quality of life, remuneration and benefits. There is an excellent and transparent incentive plan with clearly set out and measureable objectives related to both company ( either corporate, division or function) performance and personal performance. ( the objectiveness of personal performance review will be more dependenmt on your individual manager but consistency is improving) They focuis on training and development and are willing to invest in individual personal development. The brands and products are excellent and you can always feel proud when telling people outside the company what you work on from Cheerios, to Haagen Dazs - some of the most sought after brands to manage in any company worldwide. For example, Haagen Dazs is the most prestigious brand after only Sony in the highly brand aware country of Japan. If you are really interested, the opportunity for International experience is growing fast with potential for moves to other countries around the world - usually reserved for more experioenced managers and high potential people in the organization
Cons
Slow, matrix structure makes navigating the organization difficult - anyone has the popwer of veto, no-one has authority to make a decision when there are cross funtional / divisional challenges
