Current Employee – been working at Unilever as an intern for less than a year

Pros – the work given is very dynamic and exciting

employees are very competent, promote the value of initiative, and welcome you with a warm culture (this probably has a Filipino cultural factor as well)

their internship program provides you with a comprehensive view of the company's operations and exposes you to a lot of learnings related and unrelated to your role

Advice to Senior Management – for line managers: keep it up!
for senior management: source locally to help developing countries

Former Employee – worked at Unilever as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Great time to work with
Motivated and professional teams

Cons – They don't take your performance and achievements during your internship at Unilever into account, so a recommendation and a positive performance review won't help you in any way to get an traineeship.

Advice to Senior Management – Giving everyone the same opportunities to get a traineeship is fair. But you could consider to take the performance and achievements one had during his internship at Unilever into account. The achievements during this 5-7 month internship will give a better estimate of his/her performance in the future than a 1 day assessment. The internship itself is a 7 month assessment.

Current Employee – been working at Unilever full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – You learn a lot and that experience is really valued in other companies.
Most of the brands in Unilever are very valued by consumers, so you are working with excelent brands, of high quality and a lot of opportunities in the market.
While you are working in Unilever, you have the opportunity to apply to other jobs of different areas and learn a lot.

Cons – There is a lot of bureaucracy, so it's not easy to take and make decisions fast.
You work a lot, so you don't have enough time for your personal stuff (family, friends, boyfriend).

Advice to Senior Management – It's the prefect experience when you are young; when you have a family, you'd better think twice because you have few time for your personal stuff.

Former Employee – worked at Unilever as an intern

Pros – Work/Life balance was great, good people, not a lot of bureaucracy, upper-management does an excellent and competent job

Cons – Not great at matching skill-set to task, bad at project follow-through, a lot of brainless co-workers, a lot of brash people in the NJ office, a lot of ideas and not a lot of actions

Advice to Senior Management – When I was on a co-op in 2011 we were told that Unilever strives to retain their interns. I finished my co-op and received an excellent evaluation and an offer to come back. I built my experience the next summer at different company before graduating and interviewing for a full-time position with Unilever. I didn't even make it to the second interview -- perhaps this is why the lower-level talent struggles around you! This mired my time here throughout various projects: Great ideas, no execution!
