      Research and Development Interview

      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Unilever (Cape Town) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      Interview process has changed. First round is a general application without the option of a CV, qualification or transcript attachment. No interview-like questions. Second round i s computer generated 'game-like' test. Third is a video interview where one has to record their responses. You have a reply approximately 20 minutes later. Selection process completely based on demographics and a computer generated response is sent to you highlighting what you lacked even though questions asked in round 3 do not tackle those criticism statements. Simply put, if you are South African and non-black, do not bother with the application process. I know of a few people who were accepted into the programme last year. One person in specific has not even graduated (failed final year in engineering). Essentially Unilever has a person who is not a qualified engineer working in processing. F Summary: Flawed process, demographic based, don't bother

      Application

      I interviewed at Unilever

      Interview

      It took the whole day. Company offered no travel compensation, even for people who had to travel from abroad, only a sad goodie bag. The ridiculous role-play activities lasted for the whole day. Waste of time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Comprised mostly childish role-play activities.
