Pros

Nothing really distinguishes it from other MNCs. If anything, Hindustan Unilever is even more greedy than a standard multinational.

Cons

I was a Leadership programme trainee, something that they offer to pre-final year students at IITs. All was good until the time came to give out PPOs. People who had worked hard were ignored and girls and IIT-Bombay people were openly favoured. The reasons for not giving us offers were laughable at best.

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.
