I was the savings lead, at Elida Beauty which is a company with in Unilever. As part of my role I looked after the financial aspects of Supply Chain and regularly worked with a large group of stakeholders and senior leaders with in the company.

The responsibility varied across the placement. For most part of it I would say I had enough responsibility however towards the later part I believe I could have been given a bit more workload and at times felt under utilised.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever

If you are an international student, before accepting the role please know that Unilever will not sponsor you for a work visa and given you do not have the right to work in the UK beyond your post study work visa you are not eligible to apply to their grad scheme in the UK and hence the prospect of securing a grad role for a non-European international student in Unilever UK is absolutely zero.
