I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Unilever (Moscow, Moskva) in Nov 2015
Interview
I applied online in September 2015. It took about two weeks for them to answer. I should say that the whole application process is somehow confusing and there are no clear guidelines. The process was very long, the HR managers are not able to meet deadlines they announce in emails.
The competition is extremely high and HR managers seem very indifferent to interviewees. Unilever does not make those interviews by themselves, they have an outsourcing company and this firm is pretty bad in what they are doing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Competence-based questions, explain the time when you made the hardest decision in your life and why
Online experience was overall difficult and doesn't feel personable I understand as the company is large and has many applicants which is hard to go through in the short period of time
The process is relatively straightforward compared to other MT selection processes I’m familiar with. The first step is a digital interview, and the questions here are generally simple and quite generic.
The real challenge comes during the FGD and individual assessment, which are both conducted on the same day. This can feel quite intense because you’re given two cases to work on within a short time frame. The cases differ depending on the function you choose, and they are usually aligned with current trends in the FMCG landscape.
The final stage is the VP interview, which focuses more on your personal background and whether you’re a good cultural fit for the company. At this point, if you don’t pass, it’s usually not because of capability, but more about ensuring there isn’t a mismatch in working style or cultural alignment.
