People are great but work is a lot of politics and Power Points. When they say dealing with ambiguity, they mean it.
Pros
Company culture is great. I would have a beer with 80% of the people I work with. No one is going to come to your desk and demand that you work weekends, etc. Tons of white space in every job, if you want to dig in on something and it's in any way related to your job, you'll be encouraged to do it and if you do it well, you'll be rewarded. Totally acceptable use of your time to set up 1:1's with just about anyone, hanging out in the common areas connecting over coffee is not only accepted as standard but encouraged. The pace of the business is incredibly fast and the things that get accomplished in short amounts of time can be truly amazing. If you come to work everyday with a positive attitude and work well with others to solve problems, you'll be able to grow your career quickly.
Cons
Totally ambiguous environment where priorities change all the time. Constant changes at the leadership level lead to massive directional shifts and a lack of a clear long term strategy (3 EVP's in supply chain and 5 sourcing VP/SVPs in the last 7 years). Supply chain is seen as a necessary evil so if you work in that field, you need to know that challenging direction from the business teams is more/less unacceptable. Very silo'd organization. Decision making is almost always collaborative, takes forever and leads to most folks operating below their job titles/descriptions as they have to pass up the chain all decision rights. It's a lot like high school and you're running for student counsel every single day. Culture of heroes means that folks doing good work consistently aren't rewarded the same way that people who get into trouble and then save the day are. Partner resources (HR) organization serves little to no value.
