Interviewed Oct 2011 in Trumbull, CT (took 4 days)
Unilver scouted for prospects at University Career Fair. I received a phone call that day at 5pm to schedule an interview for the next afternoon. There were two interviewers and they monitored my behavior in the waiting room with other job seekers. I was asked a few scenario questions and overall the interview took 35 min from start to finish. I was offered the position within 48 hours informally, & formally within the week.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
The interview consisted partly behavioral and then it was mainly breaking down ad campaigns or individual ads (whether it be video or print) and explaining the consumer insight, the target market, etc. There was only one interview to become an intern, and it didn't seem like they took many people.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
It was a very general and vague second round interview at the headquarters in NJ. There were three interviews during the second round all having to do with personality and the company. All of the HR representatives were very responsive and helpful in the process.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Englewood Cliffs, NJ (took a day)
It was pretty standard. You went through a general phone interview first and then you got to choose to be on-site for a full day interview with diffrent people. There was a group activity that you have to do in a 4-5 people group and have a final presentation at the end.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
The interview consisted of two 1:1 interviews with company executives and a group case study. The interview questions were very intense and both of my interviewers had thick foreign accents. Neither of them were very friendly and it was hard to gauge their reactions to my answers.
The case study was an interesting experience. We were given 90 minutes to come up with a marketing plan for a particular product and demographic. We then had to present in front of two Unilever employees.
Would not likely interview with this company again.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Englewood Cliffs, NJ (took 2 days)
I co-oped with the company last year for 6 months. This fall they came to campus for an information session. They took attendance at the session, talked about different tracks and how things work. They offered interviews from resume's that were uploaded on our university's career services website. Those interviews were for Tuesday, they attended the career fair Wednesday and at that fair filled slots to interview more people on Thursday. Both interview days are treated equally so if you don't get a pre-select go to the booth at the fair and be really friendly!
The first interview on campus is behavior-based style and also the only interview I had with a case study. It usually is something like: describe what you would do if a line went down. (This may vary based on how technical the position is) They hope you ask a lot of questions. You hear within 2 weeks to go to the 2nd round which they call Superdays. There are 2 dates for Superdays and you go a Sunday night for dinner then interview and things on Monday
Superdays arrival is early Sunday. You don't have to dress up a ton, dinner that night is business casual and not with interviewers, just to explain the program more. It is a chance to meet your group as well, which you will be with the next day to solve a problem and present results. Take time to talk to the current SCMPs, this is more of an informative time than a test of you at all. Everyone is friendly so ask lots of questions.
Monday is pretty intense. First, is the group activity. You get 40 minutes to solve a problem (build a bridge, build a watertower, etc). They are looking for people to highlight other's ideas and skills, time management, and not always overpowering, but listening. Try to split the group into more effective, smaller groups. Don't try to be the leader if someone else is trying. There is an observer during this event for each candidate and your observer is also your first interviewer.
After the group activity you have 3 intervews: Accountability, Growth, and a Case Study. Again behavior based questions and then ask a lot of questions. They call you that night and then give you about 2 months to decide. They are the nicest company and people I know. I think it shows that a bit when they tell you fast and give you plenty of time. They tell everyone that they give you so much time so that you can be really happy with your decision to come to Unilever.

Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate. The program has some strict guidelines on what you make in each phase so I was told negotiating wouldn't help. You do get more money each rotation, so you have promotions to look forward to.
