  • 7. Would you recommend Unilever to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever
  • Just speak to people you meet. The best way is though the more social sides (i.e 5 a side football within the factory) as this is a more informal way to get to know various people. Always open yourself to new work and opportunities as this is also a very good way to meet people outside your function and direct team.
