Pros

Blue chip company. Really interesting projects. People within teams work well together helping each other out. Classy offices and canteen. Ability to work from home

Cons

UK management is good, but they have little power. Real power is from US and it is management by fear. Cost cutting CFO, so every year you need to do more for less. Indeed, my boss said that if you are not working 120% every day you are failing. Who can work 120% every day?! Too much work, no support and just shouting when you cannot do what is needed to do. Indeed when I left, they split my role up into two separate full time jobs, after telling me I wasn't doing my job properly, because I could not do what was asked of me.

Pros

Supportive and collaborative marketing leadership team. Leadership welcomed new ideas and outside perspectives. Clear direction from leadership, modern NYC office, and strong investment in marketing operations, technology, and innovation. I had the opportunity to meet with John Doyle several times. He always came across as decisive, approachable, and genuinely passionate about the business and its people. That tone carried through much of the leadership culture. I also enjoyed working for John Jones. He was a strong leader who set clear objectives, communicated priorities well, and created realistic expectations for the team. That clarity helped the organization stay focused while still encouraging innovation and new ideas.

Cons

Like many large enterprise organizations, decision-making could move slowly at times due to the matrixed structure and number of stakeholders involved across business units.
