Unilever reviews

End-of-year calibration where managers are required to assign each worker a ranking that operates on a bell curve, resulting in good workers being let go for "low performance" and causing employees to work against each other to get ahead; usually a round of layoffs every 2-3 years; shifting focus of company objectives from year to year; only paid for 37.5 hours a week when usually working 40+, inconsistent training/onboarding for new hires; cancelling holiday party or other social events due to budget cuts; difficult to get promoted to management level unless part of Future Leaders program or ex-military

Leadership is more focused on managing bottom line costs vs. driving topline growth through innovation. These costs containments includes but not limited to: reducing head count, reducing higher paid tenured employees, lowering benefits, 1% annual raises, 30% reduction in bonus program. Reductions have become so dramatic that there is not enough people to deliver on the expectations. Additionally, there is no longer enough tenured employees that balance out new talent which creates an environment of churn & in-efficiency. Despite claims to be a great place to work...there is ZERO work life balance with work hours flexing between 50-60 hours every week.
