Unilever reviews

There way of working, although flexible can lead to extreme overwork when covering other employees or due to recent structural changes causing multiple roles to be downgraded or combined. The company is poor at making quick decisions and only seems to make quick decisions for the purpose of trying to publicize that they can make those quick decisions and implement them. There is still a fairly strong flow of people leaving the business due to a number of reasons, mostly due to progression, development and pay. The pay is below market rate and although it used to be made up for purely by the benefits package, they have been eroded meaning that in some cases the flexible work and slightly more relaxed culture is the reason for many to stay.

terrible middle managers (brand managers) who throw their direct reports under the bus, afraid to say no or push back on Brand Directors who suggest a change in direction (don't even bother to attempt an explanation for a different approach even when previously aligned with the rest of the team), middle managers resort to making up performance issues even though emails and presentations exist to prove otherwise - and when an attempt at singling out 'performance issue X' fails, miraculously yet another 'performance issue Y' is inserted into the mix. The environment this foster is toxic, full of mistrust and completely lacking in respect and integrity.
