Pros

The best reason to work for Unilever is to get a solid multinational company on your resume. You will also have access to a CPG machine and can understand how the supply chain interacts with brand. If you are in a corporate function you will be working in very nice areas (Connecticut, Chicago, Northern Jersey). If you are in a manufacturing function you will have access to a job board that can take you all over the country, gaining experience in manufacturing foods and personal care products. You will have access to union environments as well as nonunion. It is also neat to be able to reveal some of what is behind the curtain on some of their favorite products.

Cons

Work many hours. In some cases, advancement is given to people with seniority and not skill. There are a lot of people there that continue to be employed because there isn't enough time for managers to work up a dossier on how bad their people are.

Pros

Large diverse company with opportunity to interact with people all over the globe. Good life/work balance. Very good benefits.

Cons

Pay is not competitive however I suppose the benefits make up for it somewhat. Seems to be many different levels of upper management. Can get lost since it's such a large organization. Seems things change for the sake of change recently. Needs deep total rework of company to remain competitive in its field.
