Pros
Flexible working conditions Great global brands Opportunity to learn Good name on CV
Cons
- Poor leadership and management - Low transparency and incompetent feedback given to employees - very negative and unconstructive - Outsourced HR and IT - Highly bureaucratic and inflexible. Internal moves and promotions difficult - Don't feel like management care about any of their employees on a personal level despite the business' vision to "improve the quality of people’s lives". - A lot of talk with no substance. Management look for evidence of employees' "Standards of Leadership" but don't display any themselves (http://www.unilever.co.uk/careers/apply/graduates/applicationguidanceandtips/) - Many disgruntled employees and low retention among staff in certain areas of the business reflects some of these factors
