Pros

Nearly everything, work content, ambition, stretch, opportunities, and the best people strategy

Cons

2 things 1. Certain people can't rise in the irganization beyond WL2B or 2C or at junior work levels , from WL1D to 2A. There are good reasons which are hard to explain but we should try. We look for a significant stretch and reach in our SOL and JDI , this should be feedback to them so they are not frustrated 2. Too many reorganisations. Let us stick with one and make it work

Pros

Nothing really distinguishes it from other MNCs. If anything, Hindustan Unilever is even more greedy than a standard multinational.

Cons

I was a Leadership programme trainee, something that they offer to pre-final year students at IITs. All was good until the time came to give out PPOs. People who had worked hard were ignored and girls and IIT-Bombay people were openly favoured. The reasons for not giving us offers were laughable at best.
