A great company - but beware you will struggle to get promoted - Brand Manager Unilever Employee Review

Stifling inability to progress or be promoted: roles are being constantly downgraded meaning more junior people do increasingly senior/stressful work without the recognition or salary. It is not uncommon for an ABM to be doing the work of a SBM - and senior management know this. People hang around because they believe Unilever is a benevolent company that will reward them fairly, but sadly this isn't always true. Beware: the squeeze is especially severe at Work Level 1 (i.e. ABM) - it is near impossible to move on from this level in the current business climate. Almost there is a ludicrous amount of tension between Global and Local team, which means you waste more than half your time gaining 'alignment' internally rather than doing anything meaningful.
