Pros
Good company to work for... in the right functional area. If you work in Supply Chain, Marketing, Research and other areas that are focussed on the core business, Unilever is a great place to work. If you are interested in IT, do not work for Unilever. There are way to many layers between IT and the core business, and no recognition that IT can be valuable.
Cons
Massive outsourcing in IT over the past few years, many senior leaders in IT have left the company. Currently moving Desktop and Client to India... just when many other companies are considering bring it back.. Poor leadership and poor decision making make Unilever IT a very poor place to work. Expect to be asked to be on 6am conference calls so you can talk to Asia and Europe and 10pm calls to be on again with Asia and India.. Long hours.
