      Great people but couldn't find a fit with the work!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great leadership: I had a string of good leaders who genuinely cared and tried their best to support me. Great people: I met good people in Unilever, whether it was in my cohort, within my team or from different functions. The people I met are probably the most meaningful takeaways from my experience! Independence: A double edged sword for better or for worse, I was given a lot of responsibility very fast and expected to hit the ground running. A great opportunity but also challenging for certain.

      Cons

      While the following is not necessarily a con, it does reflect one of the challenges I faced while at Unilever ~ Work has depth and breadth. While this can be be taken as a pro for sure, it gets tough to manage a portfolio with both a lot of operational and strategic tasks. Being proactive is a necessity to get the job done but because there is a layer of knowledge fragmentation when it comes to operational tasks, these can become a nuisance and a time sink unless maybe you ruthlessly push and prioritise. The presence of strategic tasks in my portfolio was a great opportunity to learn, think critically and make decisions that truly matter. I think I would have benefitted from greater mentorship to master the strategic skills needed here, with the onus being on both myself and the company to create that guidance.

      Pros

      Good team. Good colleague. Good work life balance if you reach a certain level

      Cons

      Used to be very multicultural but not anymore. High % of a certain group at management level, resulting in certain level of cultural bias.
