Reviews
A lot of learning venue
Since I've been given 3 projects to lead, my day-to-day responsibilities are to look after them. I don't have tasks that merely assist or operationalize, instead I strategize and plan towards the completion of my projects within a given timeline.
There is a balance between operations work and projects. I can propose and work on passion projects.

Pros and cons of working at Unilever Philippines
Pros
The company has a good culture. It also provides employees with great benefits along with a good wage.
Apart from working with intellectual and capable people, the flexibility of hours is one of the best things about working at Unilever.
Unlimited career opportunities including working in multicultural teams and in roles abroad, fast-paced and exciting work environment where you are a maker of the leading edge products.
The company's culture in the office is vibrant while serious. Most of the time people are focusing on their work and the deadlines they need to meet.
There are a lot of workshops that I can enroll for at Unilever. Workshops that are mainly focused on hard and technical skills that I can use at work.
Cons
High volume of work.
As a management trainee, the constant moving from one role to another, not allowing myself to fully grow and establish myself in a role and mastering the ins and outs of it.
Because it's such a large organization - the bureaucracy.
Due to it being one of the bests in the industry especially when it comes to finance the expectations might sometimes be too high.
Living in Manila one is not immune to the horrible traffic of the country, making the commute to and from work much worse than it should be.
