Pros
* Company truly cares about making a positive impact on the world * Top level leadership appears to truly care about employees * Great brands to work on * Work/life balance and WFH flexibility (even pre-COVID) * Good benefits (~5 months maternity) * Good balance of team collaboration and individual self-managed work * Great experience/never gets boring, as you are encouraged to switch roles every 2 years * Handling COVID response fairly well and understanding of employees' home situations (have been highly communicative)
Cons
* Titles not aligned to competitors in the industry (i.e. Assoc. Managers at Unilever could be Sr. Managers or Directors elsewhere) * Next to impossible to get promoted (at all levels). Promotions within departments are based on "who's next on the list," i.e. who has been there the longest, rather than who's performance and total experience (including outside Unilever) best prepares them for a promotion. * Middle management (Directors) often have little to no people-management experience and are not good at managing teams * Work experience outside of UL doesn't count/doesn't matter since people often stay here for so long * Lots of top-down micromanagement/lack of trust in teams to make decisions
