Pros

Great culture. Office is clean and good. Good benefits and management team is good. They really give importance to work-life well that depends on the team.

Cons

Good benefits because they could improve it more. Insurance, DC fund options, HMO, is good but allowance is mehh, not competetive when compared to other FMCGs such as J&J, P&G and Unilever. The career progression is so slow. The company is not creating flair to their organizational setup. They are very vocal about continuous improvement but could not make any change with their flat organizational therefore making career progression too slow. Too slow that some colleagues get promoted only after 5 yrs in their tenure. Some systems are old and outdated. Too many adhoc/workstreams to a point that it doesn't give you the freedom to choose where you really wanted to develop.
