Unilever Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Unilever as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Coming in with zero experience, my time here really helped me grasp concepts that I learned in the classroom. Having this company on my résumé really gave me a competitive edge compared to other students.

Cons – Lack of attention from some managers that did not care about the work I was trying to contribute.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Unilever as an intern

Pros – Work/Life balance was great, good people, not a lot of bureaucracy, upper-management does an excellent and competent job

Cons – Not great at matching skill-set to task, bad at project follow-through, a lot of brainless co-workers, a lot of brash people in the NJ office, a lot of ideas and not a lot of actions

Advice to Senior Management – When I was on a co-op in 2011 we were told that Unilever strives to retain their interns. I finished my co-op and received an excellent evaluation and an offer to come back. I built my experience the next summer at different company before graduating and interviewing for a full-time position with Unilever. I didn't even make it to the second interview -- perhaps this is why the lower-level talent struggles around you! This mired my time here throughout various projects: Great ideas, no execution!
