I applied online. I interviewed at Unilever (Manila, Manila) in Dec 2013
Interview
It was a whole day interview made by HR and Senior Management. We were put in a room and did several exercises such as simulating a marketing meeting, case presentation and 3 interviews. Overall it was a positive but very tiring experience. I didn't get the offer for Management Trainee but they offered me a regular position in the company which I think is good enough.

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.
