Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In this role, it is expected to join meetings with business unit and market operations teams on a daily basis. Discussions generally revolve around analysing data, identifying improvements and defects in products and monitoring trends and patterns in consumer behaviours and opinions. I collate data from various sources, analyse reports and present the findings to quality teams.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given the responsibility to collect primary data and coordinate communications between quality teams. This ensured that data was being collected and analysed every quarter.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Unilever's culture is inclusive and positive. In office, there are social spaces available to grab coffees and engage with a variety of people.
