Pros

I love the culture - it is delivery focused wihtout losing the personal touch. The cmapus has been redeveloped in 2008 and it is really excellent - bright, open and helps to create an environment where I can interact with my colleagues and friends. One of the reasons I joined Unilever was the brands - everything from Dove to Hellmanns, Ben & Jerry to Bertolli - seeing brands you work with day in day out on the shelves is a ral buzz!

Cons

Unilever? Not many downsides - the biggest one is the industry we are in CPG is a VERY tight sector so think most of the companies are similar.

Pros

In the UK as a WL1 or 2 there is a good work-life balance, particualry when compared to industries like banking, consulting etc. The culture is also very supportive and friendly, there is a 'nice' culture. The variety of brands and countries that Unilever covers also provides great experience and is one of the biggest players in FMCG.

Cons

Career progression in the UK is somewhat limited. You can get promoted if you are prepared to wait a long time. The other downside is the pay in that it is not that great (at the time of writing) and imporvments are infrequent. Bonuses do vary in line with business performance. This is in the context of what salaries are like in competitors - if you want a better salary you can often get one quite easily through leaving the business.
