Pros

I've worked for Unilever for +5 yrs. Flexible/agile working conditions.

Cons

High workload, requires overtime which you cannot really compensate it. You turn into a just a number.

Pros

Ice cream, benefits are okay, not much else, pay is below standard for the industry, and they do offer training but not much else

Cons

No one knows how to make decisions, if you don't have a 4 year degree you don't count and that's just wrong, accountability is nil for anyone in senior management, they push back when you show them deficiencies even though you have 20+ years of experience, no degree=no opinion or input

Stick with a plan

Pros

Nearly everything, work content, ambition, stretch, opportunities, and the best people strategy

Cons

2 things 1. Certain people can't rise in the irganization beyond WL2B or 2C or at junior work levels , from WL1D to 2A. There are good reasons which are hard to explain but we should try. We look for a significant stretch and reach in our SOL and JDI , this should be feedback to them so they are not frustrated 2. Too many reorganisations. Let us stick with one and make it work
