Pros

Unilever is father/mother of marketing so the opportunity to work in the marketing function is hugely attractive. As a brand manager you "own" the brand and coordinate the rest of the company to grow/protect it.

Cons

It's a massive global company, so connections to overseas colleagues was much less than I was expecting. Also the functions are in silo's so you are not expected to look beyond your function.

Pros

One of the best brand names in the corporate world. Incredible opportunities to learn best in class brand marketing. Additional level of respect that comes along with working with a market leader.

Cons

Lower salaries at lower levels and in general much lower than market rates. Biases in compensation bands. Inflation based increments much lower than price increases of the company's own brands. Cultural misfits and corporate politics abound. Little long term succession planning and development of corporate leaders.
