      Horrible Lack of Accountability

      Pros

      You can some of the best people out there, and there is good deal of learning and development opportunities. But...

      Cons

      I worked for 18 months on a project where my line manager was never available, and when I complained I was sacked from the company. There is no attention to staff members on the botton of the pyramid.

      Recent changes hurt company

      Pros

      Still nice people, but recent changes brought in because of Kraft Heinz have changed culture. Still great brands and people.

      Cons

      Limited advancement opportunity now, heavy heavy cost cutting, and frequent layoffs. Large amount of relocations forcing people to choose between family and job. Not the Unilever I once knew. If I was external I would be very hesitant about joining firm, giving recent turmoil and heavy layoffs.
