Pros
Because it is privately held, the business information is shared across the organization, and everyone is in it to win it! They pay really well because there are no RSU's. Bonuses are healthy when the company makes its numbers. The work was wonderful and challenging, not one boring day in six years! Very global with opportunity to learn about foreign business perspectives. The opportunities to contribute to the success of the business were phenomenal!
Kontras
The pace of snack marketing is fast, and yet it is the leanest company I have ever worked for. You had better have someone in management watching your back, because it is so competitive, especially around bonus time. They grade on a strict bell curve which causes managers to throw other managers' direct reports under the bus during calibration sessions.
