Pros

Joining a team at a point when you can help influence a lot of what the structure will be. This company acquired Nestle confectionery business. So they are merging essentially 3 different organizations. They are taking feedback and perspective very well. It is great to make it our own company. My hiring manager has been wonderful in transition. Very accommodating and a realistic person. He values the perspective from a person as a human being. He has matched me with mentors that are extremely knowledgeable. The same hiring manager knew I wanted to be challenged and trusted me immediately.

Cons

I do not have anything to share here. Only perspective is to understand they are going through some changes were they are trying to adapt and adopt between the 3 different organizations. If you know that going ahead it is fine.

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
