Pros

All the pros have been eroded since Paul Polman took over there's none left.

Cons

They stole our final salary pension yet the board kept theirs. They claimed it wasn't viable but there was plenty in the pot for all of us. They have now stopped our overtime and pay rises for the cost of living are a thing of the past. Its turning into a sweat shop.

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.
