Pros

In the UK as a WL1 or 2 there is a good work-life balance, particualry when compared to industries like banking, consulting etc. The culture is also very supportive and friendly, there is a 'nice' culture. The variety of brands and countries that Unilever covers also provides great experience and is one of the biggest players in FMCG.

Cons

Career progression in the UK is somewhat limited. You can get promoted if you are prepared to wait a long time. The other downside is the pay in that it is not that great (at the time of writing) and imporvments are infrequent. Bonuses do vary in line with business performance. This is in the context of what salaries are like in competitors - if you want a better salary you can often get one quite easily through leaving the business.
