Global Marketing Manager
Pros: Environment encourages cross functional collaboration and the opportunity to work with highly skilled, knowledgeable people.

Great benefit plan and competitive salary
Cons: - Many layers of executive approval to get things done creates a long lead time to execute.
- While flexibility is key to working in a fast-paced industry, there are constant internal changes and re-organizations every 4-6 months across BUs.
- The continual re-orgs which often involve layoffs (resource actions) create an atmosphere of uncertainty and insecurity among employees that their jobs will be impacted - results in employee turnover
- Positions and roles may change as a result of the re-orgs, so you may end up in a new job that you may not have ideally chosen for yourself
