Data & Analytics Unilever Future Leaders Programme Review

Perfect for my career development. Extremely supportive and provided the foundation I needed to set up my career for life.

Data analytics, data engineering, data science, supply chain management, project management and business strategy. Overall the perfect range to set up a leader in the field of data.

I have felt valued by every team I've worked in, and I categorically know I have left a positive impact on the business.

Very good total benefits package but the starting base salary could be higher. Note that there are pay rises each year based on performance.
The total benefits package includes: Annual bonus, company shares, pension matching, health insurance and more.

I can confidently say I have received the exact experience I was looking for across my rotations.

Most of my line managers were excellent and all of them supported my development in their own ways. We also get a career sponsor who sticks with us through all of our rotations, who acts like a coach. There is a very supportive culture at Unilever which extends through leadership, so there are lots of opportunities for getting mentors. Their main improvement area is HR support, as they seem understaffed vs how many employees they need to support. HR support is slow, but it's there.

There is a performance culture at Unilever which, in my case, encouraged me to work later on some nights. That being said, Wellbeing is a big agenda pushed by Unilever and they provide resources for supporting this. Also in context of other sectors like banking, work-life balance at Unilever is very good.

Excellent, to the point where I think it would take a lot to make me want to leave. Especially for an org of this size, Unilever has a very positive, friendly and supportive culture. I absolutely do not feel like "a cog in the machine". I feel valued as a person.
Regarding hybrid working: Unilever's company-wide policy is 2 days in the office, 3 work from home every week. You can go in more often than that if you wish.

There are company communities dedicated to supporting and spreading awareness of these topics, and there are early career programmes designed to encouraging diversity by partnering with certain charities.

Yes

Perfect for career development. You get to choose from a broad range of experiences to move into your dream career, and your colleagues will support you all the way.

Exceeded expectations. I went in expecting the scheme to be rigid and defined for me in terms of roles. In reality I was able to tailor my experience. I was able to get the exact roles I needed to gain the ideal experience and skills for my personal career goals. This includes technical skills as well as leadership/management skills.
