      overall; good place to work but eventually compensation is a bit too low

      R&d manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good working environment, team working. Flexible working. Not too hierarchical, your voice can be heard Many opportunities for lateral career move

      Cons

      Slow, bureaucratic, risk adverse Lots of statements of intention but does not really materialise Compensation definitely below industry average Organisation gets flatter, with fewer opportunities to move up whilst more is asked for same level of compensation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is a big company, with opportunity to move around a lot. You have to be a special breed to do it, but you may even get as far as a level 3 or 4, but that is only for the exalted few

      Cons

      The ideal Unilever person is one who joins with no real experience of how other companies work. You can be moulded into the company ideal, complete with inane phrases and three letter acronyms. With the required amount of arrogance and distain for both your colleagues, and especially anyone who you consider your subordinate, you will think your are getting ahead in the structure, but your goals will always just be beyond your reach. All the time your personal life will suffer from the long hours, and poor pay.
