Pros

There are no longer any good reasons to work at Unilever, Crumlin, Wales, UK unless you have already invested many years of your work life there in the hope of a redundancy package.

Cons

Repeating looming redundancies (currently ongoing) Constant interrupted breaks Pay not matching overtime hours worked Frequently ignored emails from management Product being shipped overseas and expanded to various countries due to Brexit. Higher paid positions given to external candidates rather than existing employees. Complete lack of organisation within management division. Complete lack of training and investment due to “winding down” of business.

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
