Pros

Without sounding too harsh, I can't pick any pros about working for this company. The atmosphere in the building is extremely uncomfortable. -I thought the money was good (not the graduate programme) but soon realised that it wasnt!

Cons

-Management literally look down their nose at you, especially if you are new -training was the worst I had ever seen. First hour in the building and I was expected to understand the database and excels platforms they use. -extreme internal issues within teams. I joined a team of 2 who wouldn't even speak to each other so clearly I was never going to do well as both of them expected the other to train me. -even if you are the new person they certainly didn't hold back with blaming you if anything went wrong.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
