Positive Reviews From Unilever Employees

  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    For early careers it take time
  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    The impression is that it's a 'FIXED MATCH' as 90% of the appointments and promotions are made on the basis of favortism or the paper profile without assessing the real capabilities of the individuals. Director sales acts like a king whereas GM acts like a prince, role of HR is limited.
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    There were very few happy moments during my 10 years stay here, i can't recall any significant time, its more depressing to think a decade wasted in the hope of happy moments that never came. I think this is the only reason 70% of the ICE CREAM Sales staff is job hunting but can't move due to econo

Constructive Feedback From Unilever Employees

  • What would you most like to see improved at your company?
    Culture, Attitude towards employees, work life balance - Need to do a lot
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Professionalism, empathy, ethics, job security, top of the line compensation, regard for experienced/ veterans. No late hours work. Extra work compensation. At least one day off in a week. Drivers for the people travelling out of cities frequently. Interest free loans. Respect of experience.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Attitude & Behaviour needs to be changed how they treat people. No job threats must be allowed. We should be working six days a week. We should be able to travel back to our homes every week to see parents & family. Relocations must be compensated financially. Where's our LY bonus?
