3.7/5
It has been a fantastic year at Unilever. Across the course of the year I have been fortunate enough to experience a range of areas within the business which as a result has helped me decide the direction I would like to take my career.

View jobs now →Being given a large amount of responsibility from the beginning made me feel valued by my colleagues. My work had a direct impact on the factory floor which was received well by different departments.
The projects which I was tasked with gave me the independence of deciding how best to approach the problem. Whenever I needed support or guidance it was there, in the shape of my manager or someone more specialized in the area I was working on. People across the site are very helpful and always make time when they can.
It would vary from day to day. In the first couple of months I would spend the majority of the day down on the factory floor learning the process and the variables which impact the production process. Once I was in full swing of things I would be busy throughout the whole week (there was always something to be getting on with!).
I was given a large amount of amount of responsibility which allowed me to really get stuck in from the beginning. I had clear targets which did change across the year due to a particular project becoming a priority.
This has been an invaluable development experience for both my soft and technical skills even though the role was not directly tied into my degree.

There was a wealth of knowledge on the ‘Degreed’ platform Unilever have which helped the day to day work as well as access to a number of physical guides.
I hope to be able to return to Unilever through a direct entry after completing my final year at university.
Lived at home and commuted to work each day.
