Pros

These apply for the whole company - Good relative salary and benefits - Flexible working hours* - 3 days a week home office - Although most of my team tried to move inside the company and wasn't successful, we did see some people join the team from within Unilever. - Saw one succesful promotion in the area

Cons

- You're expected to work non-paid extra hours. Most of my teams work days were around 12 - 16 hours. (Constant Crunch Culture) - Work is measured very arbitrarily, often involving a conflict of interest and not taking into account a learning curve. On top of this, most processes are not properly documented. Meaning process manuals are incomplete, outdated, illegible or just wrong. Because of this, often reworks are needed in expense of the person performing the process. - Some of the members of the team traded extra work for additional pay. The latter was never delivered. - There was an unresolved case of harrasment from a superior in the workplace. HR decided to ignore it. (as most of other issues in the workplace)

Pros

Working with brands you grew up with is really exciting! The people I have met have all been amazing as well!

Cons

Everyone I have talked to are overworked and feel underpaid and despite the amount of work they do, there is no recognition or appreciation. Upper management is a mess and UL is constantly restructuring, often going from new BACK to the old structure while simultaneously letting people go leaving more people overworked. While most people are amazing, there are a few micromanagers where expectations are unknown. In addition, the lack of communication is awful. Often, I hear about certain cuts through the vine rather than directly from the people involved
