Great Benefits, poor employee turnover

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, fast paced, fun people, inspiring communications, company activities, free icecream and fantastic office location.

Cons

Staff were over worked, no real company induction, didn't know who to contact or what I was supposed to be doing, the level of long term sick is the highest I've seen in any organisation. It seems that the culture is to work people until they are completely burnt out and then expect them to go off sick until they return again and repeat the cycle. I saw this happen at all levels of the organisation and decided to move on before it happened to me. This is an issue at all levels of the orgnanisation as I saw it happen to senior leaders and support staff alike.

Pros

Agile work environment can mean you have more flexibility in your schedule. Depending on the team you are on, work-life balance can be strong.

Cons

Growth is very slow even for people who are strong performers, bureaucracy is unavoidable, politics are pretty rampant. Comp is not super competitive.

Pros

Healthcare and 401k matching are very competitive

Cons

There is no stability in Unilever's future. The company has had 3 restructurings in the past 7 years, and is on its 4th CEO in the same time. The company is lost, and have decided to now shift their focus from employee wellbeing to the bottom line. More layoffs are coming, and if the board has their way the company will be split it multiple small groups. They have also shifted how they rate employees in a way that will offer them less in bonus payouts. Unilever pretends to be agile and that they can move with the market, but they are bogged down in way to much process from within, they cannot get out of their own way. While their policies say hybrid, from within the company they are very clear they want everyone in the office all the time.
