Pros

Ethical company. Good interaction with teams across the world. Large ecosystem within Uniever which helps understand how global companies are run.

Cons

Friends, I have worked in this company for several years now. I have seen this place change in front of my eyes for the worse. I tell you, Do not join at assistant manager or senior manager levels. You will never get promoted on normal terms. Be prepared to spend many many years at the same level with no salary raises. I dont blame the company though, it is not relly growing market shares. Meanwhile you will see college kids sail through just because they are from "development programs". You will see that people who worked at lower salaries than you cross you over in a few years. If you still do join, best is to stay for a year or two , get the brand name and move out. Have a clear exit plan from the moment you join, if you do plan to join. Make no mistake, you will be squeezed till the last bit of free time from your life is removed.

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.
