      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Unilever full-time for more than 9 years

      Pros

      It's vision and values are excellent, I felt proud to work for Unilever and everything in stands for. It is not one of those companies who says one thing to it's consumers but then acts differently internally. The agile working is great, as is the free ice cream (site specific) and staff shop!

      Cons

      Not the highest salaries in the market - people stay because they love the company, not the package. When you do leave you will find it hard to work for just anyone, because you become used to being treated in a certain way and now have the need to find a company that matches your values

      Advice to Management

      As you strive for greater employee experience, remember those employees who provide that service internally, they are employees too!
