Pros

not many, flexible working, project can be interesting

Cons

boring, too corporate and way behind many companies, massively struggling with a digital transformation - it's very old-school low salaries, below industry average Low salaries cause that Unilever doesn't attract the best talent - graduates from B level universities

Pros

Work from home policy is good

Cons

Limited vision in local management; false image as an MNC corporation (it was, maybe 10 years ago), local market operate as in local companies; remote office area; if you are not mobile and not trainee, very limited resources and progression opportunities; if you perform well, rather than reward with promotion/ salary adjustment, they reward you with job expansion and increase workload (as part of development to you); high turnover which make the workload even worst for those who stays; you feel like being penalize as you are living in an expensive location as they compare you salary to other low cost of living countries to determine resources given
