Great learning ground but career progression can get tough from middle management onwards
Pros
- Marketing leader across multiple categories in Developing world - Great quality of people in Asia, especially India - Learning environment with a decent emphasis on training courses - Strong leadership and a renewed drive for success. Overall its a much more positive, can do culture than the Unilever of 5 years back - Global learning
Cons
- Recent obession with external talent - Suffering from a serious case of inferiority complex especially in personal care categories - Complicated structure wth many stakeholders leading to delayed and wrong decision making - Not working as one Unilever anymore but as many different clusters and categories. This leads to poor career mobility despite working of a large global organisation - Have noticed some racial profiling recently. Latin americans are better at creativity, Indians are better are numerical matters and French have a great sense of beauty.
