The Role
Marketing for Unilever has been the single best work experience I have ever had.
Unilever accept you as one of their own, your opinion matters to them.
Everyone is always willing to help! Unilever very much believes in learning on the job - the team are always willing to help.
There is always something to do - especially in marketing. It depends on the time of year,
Unilever is well known for offering you real responsibilities. I was very much expected to deliver the same results in role as a grad.
My degree is also in Marketing, so everything I have learned so far will be knowledge I take back in my final year -and into any future job roles.
The Company
Stressful at times! Always a laugh, always friendly and a real mixture of ages and backgrounds.
Fairly organised, it does take some time to work out where you will be placed and what your role is.
