Pros

colleagues, friendships and sadly in the last few years that is it. Although the one stand out methodology Unilever introduced was agile working.

Cons

ineffective management, a culture of intimidation and harassment. Low morale. The way they treat the staff in the factories compared to the offices is a disgrace. Extremely poor mental health statistics due to pressure and culture. The company look to fill any new positions in low cost markets regardless of skill or talent.

Pros

flexibility to work from home, new office being built, company store/discounts

Cons

incompetent managers, stressful work environment, compensation not very competitive, high turnover since people get burned out quickly - a lot of work for very little reward. Culture does not match up with Unilever's values/mission
