Pros

Unilever is huge and has very good opportunities. There are many different career paths and experiences, and generally amazing people to work with.

Cons

Due to it's large size and piecemeal heritage, Unilever often seems hectic and unorganized. It is frustrating to get things done sometimes, and many situations require a lot of creative effort and knowing the right people. In the lower levels, there is a mix of laid back and work-a-holics, but many of the director level and above have "sold their souls" to Unilever.
