I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Unilever (Englewood, NJ) in Nov 2012
Interview
1:1 Interview (On-Campus), if you do well...
Invitation to Superday in Englewood Cliffs. The night before Superday, the company takes you to dinner. It's pretty relaxed...getting to know the people/company. Important to talk to the employees and learn about the company (employees are eager to share their experience).
The next day there are two 1:1 interviews. I enjoyed both of my interviews, but I've heard different opinions (depends on the interviewer obviously). Just be yourself and, and you'll do great! I would say that they definitely want to challenge you, but that's the fun part!
Lunch.
After the interviews, there is a case scenario. You have about 90 minutes (if I remember correctly) to prepare and present with a team. You're given a product category and a few demographics...then you have to come up with what you want to take to market given the constraints. I was really nervous for this portion, but it's honestly not that bad at all. There are 3-4 Unilever employees that are watching how you work with the team and how you can involve your other group members.
Side note: some people have the case before lunch and the interviews following lunch.
Overall, the interview process is great. They link you up with a "mentor" who is a current employee. I LOVED my mentor because he really motivated me and boosted my moral before my interview! I haven't started as of yet, but HR has been an absolute dream to work with. I am really excited to start this summer!
Ghosted me after first round interview. Sent three follow up emails and no reply until I got a rejection email about a month later and nothing else was said from the recrutier
I applied online. I interviewed at Unilever (London, England)
Interview
Skipped straight to manager instead of HR, which should of been my first clue, and interview was standard.. was told there would be a follow up but got ghosted, when I reached out for feedback weeks later, I was told they would reach out to the manager as I was unsuccessful and then got ghosted again.
disappointing but not surprised
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Unilever (London, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
They asked me about experience and skill-based questions. Also, they expect to see the potential and ambition of the candidate.
After that, I presented a proposal about the brand based on the assignment they gave me.
