Business Outlook

Pros

You learn a lot and that experience is really valued in other companies. Most of the brands in Unilever are very valued by consumers, so you are working with excelent brands, of high quality and a lot of opportunities in the market. While you are working in Unilever, you have the opportunity to apply to other jobs of different areas and learn a lot.

Cons

There is a lot of bureaucracy, so it's not easy to take and make decisions fast. You work a lot, so you don't have enough time for your personal stuff (family, friends, boyfriend).
