I applied online. I interviewed at Unilever (Jakarta) in Mar 2016
Interview
The selection process takes several steps, here I would only discuss the process in Assessment Center. First there is Focused Group Discussion where candidates are asked to solve a business case and reach consensus. Then followed by a case presentation, one for the general case and one for the functional case. The two process would lead to shortlisted candidates and only the shortlisted will proceed further for interview with user.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General question on strength and weaknesses, followed by personal question such as background and motivation. There is also a question about the understanding of the applied position's daily job.
It consists of multiple rounds: first a round of online games to be played, then an interview round with preset competency based questions, and then a final round at their office which includes various assessments including a written case and a group case

Question 1
Explain a situation in which you had to take a decision with limited information available
Online experience was overall difficult and doesn't feel personable I understand as the company is large and has many applicants which is hard to go through in the short period of time
The process is relatively straightforward compared to other MT selection processes I’m familiar with. The first step is a digital interview, and the questions here are generally simple and quite generic.
The real challenge comes during the FGD and individual assessment, which are both conducted on the same day. This can feel quite intense because you’re given two cases to work on within a short time frame. The cases differ depending on the function you choose, and they are usually aligned with current trends in the FMCG landscape.
The final stage is the VP interview, which focuses more on your personal background and whether you’re a good cultural fit for the company. At this point, if you don’t pass, it’s usually not because of capability, but more about ensuring there isn’t a mismatch in working style or cultural alignment.
