Mumbai

Current Employee – been working at Unilever full-time for more than 10 years

ProsYou are allowed to take calculated risk & that is how you keep on learning & developing. Very good set of senior managers who keeps on guiding you how to progress in business & in personal life.

ConsTakes a long time to react. Need lots of approval before any action is taken because of which many a times we loose the competative edge.
