| Brand Management |
Culture: young, fun, outgoing, spectacularly disorganized, no clear
focus on bottomline profit. A lot of waste going on, but on the bright
side no nickel and diming like classic CPG (margins are about 70% here
vs 10% in Food/Bev, hence the cavalier attitude). Some decent perks in
addition to the usual level of big-co. benefits. For example, a
vacation buy program, a Free Booze program, Thursday night pub nights
(free greasy food and drinks) and reimbursement of business expenses in
a non-chintzy way, i.e. if you get a cable modem at home they'll
reimburse. Also they partially defray gym membership.
Diversity: British co., so the hotshot young Brits are sent to lead USA
for their last step of training...results in some disastrous effects.
Lots of white folk, pretty decent place for women to get ahead but weak
on presence of people of color.
Hours: marketing hours are typical of brand mgmt anywhere, which is to
say one works as hard as an i-banker for roughly one tenth the pay.
Typical day is 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Dress code: business casual, but who cares because no one sees you
except your fellow cube denizens.
