Pros

Unilever is father/mother of marketing so the opportunity to work in the marketing function is hugely attractive. As a brand manager you "own" the brand and coordinate the rest of the company to grow/protect it.

Cons

It's a massive global company, so connections to overseas colleagues was much less than I was expecting. Also the functions are in silo's so you are not expected to look beyond your function.

Unilever - a great place to work

Pros

Great atmosphere. Creativity encouraged. Flexible work hours - 1/2 day Fridays, week off at christmas, onsite gym and onsite cafeteria

Cons

Unilever management was not very good at relaying information regarding the future of the company when it was possibly being sold. This led to constant rumors and an unpleasant work environment.
