Pros

Great benefits package. Company is state of the art in most things. Great pride in the employees that they work for Unilever, though many are understandably reticent to trust they'll have a job, or a similar job, with Unilever in 3-5 years, though I suppose in the Internet age, this is just how life is with a large company.

Cons

As with most overly large companies, some times I really have to question the competence and leadership abilities of senior management. Granted, there are obviously things I am not privy to, but some of the cloaking of minor details is almost comical, and at least sophomoric.

Unilever is a great place to work

Pros

Unilever views their insight team as a strategic partner and is a very consumer focused business. The Chicago office has a great energy and is a fun place to work.

Cons

As with most large corporations, Unilever can be really political and the many processes can be really cumbersome. Also, Chicago office is closing.
