Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
If your manager isn't giving you work you need to look for your own work and be proactive otherwise you will be stuck doing nothing. Be willing to learn and set up calls to go more indepth on things if you don't understand them.
