Pernod Ricard reviews

Once you start to think about a career, if you’re not French, white, male and “sponsored” you’re not going anywhere. Tries to project a young, cool, funky image (and they’re very good at this as it’s a marketing-centered company), but in reality it’s a very French, family-run traditional business, where your friends are more important than your ability. Nobody can take a decision until it’s passed all the way up the chain; micromanagement is the order of the day. To be fair to the CEO, he gives the impression that he's trying to change the company. But he's from the family, so it's going to be difficult for him to understand and make the changes that are needed: and obviously, he is a white, French, sponsored male...

Sink or swim culture. It is not for everyone. Favoritism is played. Management style is instill fear of losing job in order to 'motivate' employee. They seem to want to have a certain number of people on performance improvement plan at all times. Many qualified employees are not given the chance to move to another department. People are over-worked and under-paid. The stress level is extremely high not so much because of the work itself, but because of the behaviors of managers. Best for young people who are trying to get experience and are willing to sacrifice their personal life in the process.
