Pros

Used to having good culture and good pay. Not any more.

Cons

The company does not care about its employees. There are no career development plans, employees voices are ignored. Bonus target is so high. It is close to non existing. Some managers in IT are particularly good at micromanagement and creating hostile work culture. HR developed tools to support them. Management is very old fashioned and lacks professionalism and integrity. A high turn over rate. This is a company for relatives and friends. Not for career advancement unless you are related to some bosses.

Pros

The processes are some of the best and well aligned that I have ever seen in any other company that I've been at. The business is straight forward, uncomplicated and easy to understand how it works. Even when issues arise, they are relatively easy to solve. SAP is a big part of what makes the processes here so straightforward.

Cons

The managers (specifically in supply chain) absolutely ruin the experience of working here. I'm not sure that real leaders (directors, VPs, etc) know how their smaller managers act towards everyone else. It's hard to believe the people in these manager roles were actually hand selected to manage other people when they probably can't even manage their own households. They only thing they're really good at doing is intimidating their subordinates, taking behind their back, and making them feel alienated.
