5/5
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
4/5
I would like to see the expansion of structured formal training. There is some (and it is excellent), and we study for CIMA which is good. But more classroom in person learning run by the business specifically would enhance the level a learning a lot.
Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
4/5
Excellent line managers across the finance function. Very high quality people who are all committed to my development.
Through no fault of their own HR are too thin on the ground to interact with and functionally speaking don't interact with junior personnel on a business as usual basis, though there are some calls that act as touch points,

Mostly good. Balancing CIMA and work is hard but that's the nature of full time work and studying. There have been some very long days on occasion,

Yes
Why?
Great business in a great sector. Massive opportunity to learn supported by high quality people who support you to succeed.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
5/5
Has exceeded my expectations significantly
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Unilever?
Show enthusiasm. Be curious. Engage with the sector. Get into a supermarket to see products on shelf. Think about the supply chain, marketing, and sales organisation that gets the product there and what makes you as a consumer want to use the product (or not)
