Pros

Working from home, open office environment

Cons

Old ways of working holding this company back. Culture needs to improve trust. Development of employees optional and not a priority. Processes run the,people not the,other way around.

Pros

Flexible working hours, informal atmosphere

Cons

Top down organisation (Ivory Tower), loads of yes-men/women (who get promoted), no real job security as every year there are lay-offs due to organisations changes, people with real jobs are being substituted for interns / temporary people (flex workers) /outsourced to low income countries (india/poland), as a person you cannot be honest about what you think because it will be used against you during your review (especially when you are near a permanent contract), within this company you should always remember that people wear a mask, many unilever projects are façade for the world outside to see how "good and involved" we are, Unilever will do anything for the shareholders. Short term goals are most important. It would't surprise me if employees would be asked to post positive things on glassdoor.
