Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

This is the first role I have been able to access lots of training and support. Whether that is through line manager 1-1s, the Unilever Future Careers team, or training courses - there are so many opportunities to develop professionally!
If you would like to shadow or gain experience in a different team, colleagues are more than happy to allow you onboard to learn more about their role.

Company Culture

A great company to work for! Everyone was so welcoming, and there are lots of extra activities beyond work to get involved with - whether that’s well-being lunches, team socials or sports clubs!
