Pros

I've met some great people in my time at Unilever. The company store is great.

Cons

Leadership operates in fear. Lack of multicultural diversity and diversity in thought due to the terrible recruiting process and lack of commitment to diversify the workforce from leaders. Poor work/life balance Benefits cut Talk the talk but dont walk the walk in terms of values. Leaders are protected and not held accountable for any wrong doing. Disconnect between global and local markets. Very high turnover. Very hard to get promoted.

Pros

You can some of the best people out there, and there is good deal of learning and development opportunities. But...

Cons

I worked for 18 months on a project where my line manager was never available, and when I complained I was sacked from the company. There is no attention to staff members on the botton of the pyramid.
