Pros

- Privately-owned - Behaviors/decisions based on 5 Principles - Strong dedication to career development - Significant global presence - Not just a Chocolate company. Have a look at our other brands...

Cons

This is a lean company in that the office is realtively small given the sheer size of the business. This means you have the opportunity to take on LOTS of responsibility from very early on in your career. While some consider this a pro (like myself), this may prove intimidating for others.
