Pros

The offer flexibilty to work from home, the offices are beautiful and subsidised lunch and shop is great.

Cons

Onboarding was awful with no training or support given, after a month of being their I was told in an open meeting that my role was being made redundant (despite only having spoken to my manager once in that time as they were based in SA). I then applied for another position internally, which I got, only to find that the line manager was unwell due to stress so again I had no onboarding or handover of any kind. Eventually I got a line manager but she was completely lost as to what she was doing also. Basically they buy up companies with the patchwork of employees its impossible to tell who does what or what the structure is. I would avoid like the plague.

Pros

Your line manager will decide your entire career in Unilever India. If you are joining from a reputed college & are lucky to get an encouraging, confident manager, the possibilities for you in HUL are endless

Cons

If you are in a specialist, individual contributor role you will have no support in this ecosystem. You are at the mercy of your boss. HR is not going to check up on your progress, there is no career growth plan. You just go on with your daily job with no opportunity to learn
