Pros

Great benefits and company car

Cons

Management are all drinking the purple cool-aid!!!! If you enjoy being micro-managed and work expectations all over the map then this is the company for you. Worst direct manager I have ever worked for. Everyone thinks the exact same but no one speaks up.

Pros

All the perks you can imagine, expense account and company car that you can take to the US for personal reasons - shopping or vacation - and they will pay the gas for it even if you go all the way to Florida

Cons

Lone wolf type of job - you are pretty much on your own - you meet your boss and peers once a month and have a regional/national meeting every 3-6 months. Manager supposed to go out with you on trade tours once a month but in reality is more like once every 2-3 months. Terrible with/for promotions if you do not have an insider to prop you.

Pros

Modern premises, IT system, good "best practices" are shared across the company and the group. The group itself has an impressive global reach.

Cons

Working for a company that, in the end, sells addictive products, that will kill one in two long term smokers. Pretending that you do not. Management wise, the elite is com-ple-te-ly divorced from the base, hopping from an expatriation to another, but otherwise being almost entirely invisible to the file and rank employees, save for BBQ day when they slap a lot of shoulders and call a lot of people "buddy".
