      Lots of politics - undeserved people get ahead

      Pros

      Nothing really distinguishes it from other MNCs. If anything, Hindustan Unilever is even more greedy than a standard multinational.

      Cons

      I was a Leadership programme trainee, something that they offer to pre-final year students at IITs. All was good until the time came to give out PPOs. People who had worked hard were ignored and girls and IIT-Bombay people were openly favoured. The reasons for not giving us offers were laughable at best.

      Unilever Bangalore

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Good brand 2. At the time of joining, offers good salary hike.

      Cons

      1. Unilever Bangalore is experimental Hub for Unilever. They keep trying new processes and once stabilized, Unilever start moving things to Cap gemini or IBM. 2. All roles in Bangalore is more of process/data crunching driven. No decision making or value addition roles are there. 3. Management is not clear in terms of future of Bangalore (ETSC) site. 4. Increments happen at Basic, that too below 10 % , so it is like peanuts. 5. No work life balance
