Pros

The culture at Unilever is excellent. People are treated with respect. The working hours are flexible within reason. Diversity of workplace is valued. Paul Polman is an excellent CEO.

Cons

The benefits at Unilever have reduced over time. Additionally, the organization has become "flatter" thus career advancement is rather limited in terms of upward mobility. However, many broadening assignments are available to people at the same work level/zone. Base salaries are generally lower than the market. Hence, turnover is high in areas such as marketing and supply chain planning.
