Pros

The provided a great relocation package

Cons

The most toxic work environment I have ever worked in. I never felt appreciated and have never felt more like just a number. After more than 2 years working there, I can count on hand the number of times my boss said 'Thank you'. I don't think things have improved any since I left because in my new job, I continue to run into former Unilever people.

Pros

Entry level employees are supportive and close-knit, however the culture dwindles as you rise up the latter

Cons

All of their awards or marketing statements about being a best employer for X-identity or support for people of color and other communities are all just for public relations. They do not care about supporting, retaining, and promoting employees of color, just checking boxes to say they employed tokens. It's disturbing and shameful.

Not The Same Unilever

Pros

Good Work/Life Balance Competitve 401K Matching Great Career Opportunities **on the right team**

Cons

Office Closures along with Internal Hiring Freezes have dropped office morale considerably. The company would prefer to limit headcount; hire temporary hires; and train over the same material repeatedly, rather than reinvest in current employees and promote internally and reward workers. Culture has changed considerably over the past years, senior management seems no longer concerned with investing in employees, only cutting costs. Benefits are expensive and salaries lag under industry average.
