Unilever reviews

The company is constantly restructuring, spending all of their time focused on the bottom line and very little to no time on its actual employees. Transitions between roles are stretched out over months causing employees to work multiple jobs and long hours. Poor Management and turn over leaves employees either zero management or multiple mangers in one year. Programs in place for mentors or employer advancement are poorly managed unless you are a member of their SCMP program. Full time employees have the option to join a management program however the likelihoods of a promotion is low. Regular employee programs are so poorly managed that employees tend to wait over a year for a mentor. Unless you are hired from the outside compensation is very low. Recent college graduates are not offered competitive salaries and must leave the company in order to receive industry standard.

* Constant changes in the structure = constant pivots in priorities = hours spent making internal decks to impress whichever business leader that happens to be visiting * Highly political environment - the first advice my first manager gave was to "make yourself visible", all the while never really advocating nor standing up for his team. One of my other managers was a yes (wo)man, who often prioritised senior leaders whims and fancies over efficient working practices or business realities. * Promotions given to people who have no business being people leaders, but sometimes given due to their proximity to certain leaders/ geographical groups: some of the people I have interacted with were terrible in one or more of these things: knowing how to manage multi-cultural teams, poor emotional regulation, obvious lack of interest in coaching their subordinates, willingness to throw you under the bus * No work life balance, which seems to not be improving as there is more "double" or "triple-hatting" assigned in role; Expect long hours managing calls, projects, stakeholders who have no qualms texting you at the middle of the night asking for something the next day. Burn out is super common and not explicitly addressed (see point #2)
