      Pros

      Good working environment, team working. Flexible working. Not too hierarchical, your voice can be heard Many opportunities for lateral career move

      Cons

      Slow, bureaucratic, risk adverse Lots of statements of intention but does not really materialise Compensation definitely below industry average Organisation gets flatter, with fewer opportunities to move up whilst more is asked for same level of compensation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The systems, processes and knowledge are excellent in its industry. It is a great training ground for a professional in CPG.

      Cons

      - Increasingly frequent acquisitions, though strategic, are causing a continuous restructuring of the company, consequently causing a great sense of job/ future insecurity, forcing executives to take shorter-term business planning decisions and survive day by day, rather than taking a more strategic view of the business. Biggest challenge for Unilever currently is to manage a consistently changing internal environment and yet maintain its competitive edge in the external environment.
