Business Outlook

Pros

Meeting 1 senior leader who stood apart

Cons

A corrupt senior leadership team that fails to deliver and defies the Unilever core values. Unilever removes Managers that point out the truths, very few offer real skills learnt from real experience with global roll out and software platforms. Shocking example of VP leadership that was unable to restrain crass embarrassing comments. Senior HR are powerless to support staff that need help, from graduates to senior leaders. A true heart rendering business that pays lip service to the values it claims to stand for including sustainability. Bullying at it's worst degree by leaders that disimpower and manipulate female team members unless they were former redundant Sainsburys staff.

Disheartening-No advancement for young white male

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company has good salaries and benefits. Provides great experience across multiple functions of the supply chain. They have great brands.

Cons

The company started to really push heavily about 6 years ago its Unilever Future Leaders Program (UFLP) where they promise new college graduates who are accepted in the rotational programs leadership role. At the same time they are pushing Diversity and Inclusion agenda. This means there are very very limited opportunities for a young white male who has 5-7 years experience. You might as well give up if you're over 40. They are more worried about checking the box and political correctness that they don't put the best person in the role. They wonder why there are many employees leaving the company. That's why. No hope for us. This is reverse discrimination which they will deny. They don't promote you if you don't meet the D&I or UFLP. They use the term privately among directors and HR "blockers".
