Pros

- Some of the colleagues - Nearby shopping centre - Old, low quality, fattening cookies - Friday drinks - The products - mainly channel manager and prophet are actually really good vs competition - Opportunity to learn about distribution landscape for hospitality industry, however only if you're new to it

Cons

- Unusually high staff turnover - Appalling HR department in London office - Micromanagement - Unpleasant working environment - Unrealistic KPI's - A lot of meetings, chats, gatherings with no substance to it - Clapping, cheering, bell ringing - all of it suitable for nursery, not an adult, professional environment - Internal politics beyond the comprehension - Big Brother style of monitoring your work - Over ambitious plans of saturating the emerging market with the product, resulting in firing vast amount of people who do not meet overblown targets - Constructive criticism taken as a negative attitude, which hinders the attempt to make the products and service better
