Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Unilever?
Good . Originally, I didn't enjoy the experience. I would say the people can be quite competitive but overall it has grown on me.
I do think the jobs are challenging and there is an emphasis on meeting high expectations.
I also think that the grad scheme requires too many 'extra curriculars' which detract from your actual ability to do your job.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
1. Business Partnering other functions
2. Financial Reporting
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
No
Why?
I think it is a prestigious company to work for but I think people would be happier working in a smaller firm.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
3/5
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Unilever?
I would advise people to think about what the company brings to them when applying rather than worrying about getting chosen. Make sure it is right for them.
