      Great company, but tough to stay happy in Account Management

      Senior account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Amazing people at the company - Decently competitive salary - Decent work perks (free product, etc.) - Strong brands - Other roles at Unilever can be a lot more fun

      Cons

      - Often forced to work with very difficult customers with little support from seniors, can leave you feeling very beat down over time - Plenty of difficult conversations to be had (pulling back funding, increasing prices, supply chain problems) - also with very little support - Thankless job - Not a ton of actionable feedback

      Phenomenal Training - Job depends greatly on category/leader

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Seriously phenomenal marketing training... you will know more about strategy than the majority of your future colleagues. The brands are wonderful and diverse. Where else can you work on Dove and then go work on Ben & Jerry's or Olly's? The actual job depends 1000% on your manager and category.

      Cons

      The autonomy & love for the job will depend upon the category you are in and your leader. If you are on Dove, you will have a bigger marketing budget than anyone else, but you will have a team of 40 marketers and have to deal with a matrix of leaders around the globe that all play brand manager. A Sr Manager on Dove has very little autonomy, but your career is set with Dove on your resume. If you are on Breyers ice cream, you literally run the entire business as a Sr Manager as its a local business and your Director runs 6 ice cream brands.

      Amazing Resources, Poor Management

      Senior scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are a ton of brilliant people at Unilever and always an opportunity to learn. If you are on the right team there's potential to grow.

      Cons

      Customers are prioritized over consumers. Restructures are performed without forethought and the company has been known to eliminate top talent.
