Pros

Healthcare and 401k matching are very competitive

Cons

There is no stability in Unilever's future. The company has had 3 restructurings in the past 7 years, and is on its 4th CEO in the same time. The company is lost, and have decided to now shift their focus from employee wellbeing to the bottom line. More layoffs are coming, and if the board has their way the company will be split it multiple small groups. They have also shifted how they rate employees in a way that will offer them less in bonus payouts. Unilever pretends to be agile and that they can move with the market, but they are bogged down in way to much process from within, they cannot get out of their own way. While their policies say hybrid, from within the company they are very clear they want everyone in the office all the time.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
