I came across a very insightful article specifying the difference between company types and would like to quote as below:
"Different types of companies analyse who is “helping the company the most” differently.
In some companies which are young and focused on growth, the people who are “Product people”, and working to improve the current product and develop new ones to help the company grow, are the ones who get a lot of recognition and get promoted, ultimately getting into the senior management positions and encouraging others to develop their ideas.
However, in other industries with a slower pace of change, product improvement isn’t seen as importantly. The example he cites here is PepsiCo, who would not dare to change their recipe and therefore would only make product changes once every ten years or so. In companies like this, the people who appear to be bringing the most benefit to the company are the ones making the most money from the product, which are the Sales & Marketing people, and therefore these are the people who get promoted."
That is the reason why I definitely choose to work for an FMCG company at this stage in order to earn a position with allocated scope for marketing activities that make an impact on company growth, through which I could sharpen my expertise.
