Poor leadership and governance

Pros

The only real advantage here is having a recognized global FMCG brand name on your CV. The standard corporate benefits are acceptable, assuming you can survive the environment long enough to use them.

Cons

The core issue is a deeply entrenched culture of fear and a systemic failure of corporate governance. There is a complete lack of transparency, largely because there is no designated, independent compliance team to objectively investigate internal issues. Instead, serious compliance cases and leadership misconduct are systematically swept under the carpet ​The HRBP functions less like Human Resources and more like a defense shield for upper management, actively facilitating the cover-up of leadership failures. Furthermore, there is a profound lack of appreciation for the employees who actually contribute and drive the business forward. High performers are entirely taken for granted, while management focuses heavily on relentless structural changes and ongoing VSS (Voluntary Separation Scheme) exercises to manage overhead. This creates a perpetual state of anxiety and instability. Recognizing that hard work yields zero reward or recognition in such a punitive environment, top talent is no longer trying to improve the system. Instead, we are witnessing a massive "silent exit", highly capable, experienced managers are quietly securing better opportunities and walking out the door without a word, leaving behind a rapidly deteriorating operational core.

Pros

Okay pay, good food in cantine, you get experience in a big company with household name brands (main benefit) so you can get a better job elsewhere

Cons

Constant restructures, company will make you redundant just so they can reach margins so bad culture. No career progression. Company not willing to invest in you so they can maintain budget, this isn’t a place to build a career
