      Future Leader Programmer (Supply Chain) Interview

      Feb 4, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Singapore
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Unilever in Feb 2016

      Interview

      An online application form that isn't reviewed until you pass the 2 online test stages. Then invited to book a slot for a telephone interview. When I tried to rearrange (due to illness) the first person I spoke to did not help meaning I had to call again. On the day the interviewer did not ring on my preferred number and called 15 minutes late. She was very uninterested and it felt like she was not even fully listening. They said the interview would be 60 minutes but it lasted about 25/30 minutes.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why Unilever? Why Supply Chain? Where did you hear about the scheme? Would you be geographically mobile throughout the programme?
      Answer question
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Unilever (Singapore) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      The personality test was in the form of 12 games. The 12 games will generate a personality trait report. This is then followed by a video interview where they give u case questions and you have to solve them within minutes. After being accepted, there will be an assessment center. It is really fun. Just embrace it and enjoy the culture. But the assessment is hard because they are very strict in grading for an offer.

      Future Leaders Programmer - Supply Chain Interview

      Nov 29, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Unilever (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      They have a "Discovery Day" where they invite you to come to their office for about 6 hours. I didn't even get an invite until three days before the event because they accidently sent me a rejection letter beforehand and the subsequent invitations were sent with unauthenticated emails so it all ended up in my spam folders. Also, they booked me a hotel room the day of because, even though they had my address, they didn't realize that the City of Toronto is located within the Greater Toronto Area. On the day of, first thing they did was give you breakfast. This was the first test because every human being on the planet would assume that "breakfast" includes coffee, but there isn't any so you'll have to do all of the day's activities uncaffeinated. And even though Unilever is the world's largest tea producer, there wasn't any tea either which just added to the disappointment. After that, they put us into groups of three and they have the guy from HR pretend to be a concerned mother. Then they put us into groups of six people who you barely know and you are given an hour to create a 10-minute presentation based on a 21-page case study. And halfway through this one hour one of the HR guys barges into the room and starts handing out printed out emails and talking about "oh yeah, i should've gotten this to you earlier but it just now came in". It was obviously scripted, it's surprising that they even bothered to pretend like it wasn't planned ahead of time. Naturally, when you have to work alongside people you're in direct competition with, there is quite a fair bit of stress. It was like some Hunger Games kinda stuff, but instead of surviving After that, they have a "Mentorship Session". In other words, after this entire ordeal, they thought they'd stick a traditional 2-on-1 interview on the end, because why not? I think you're supposed to take advantage of this situation to low-key talk about how everyone else that you're competing against sucks. I didn't do that, but in hindsight, it may have been a good strategy. Also, they seemed to have an outdated copy of my resume from a year ago. I honestly have no idea where they got a hold of it, probably from my internship application from a year prior. After that, they give you some disappointing sandwiches, a litre of Ben and Jerry's, a water bottle, and tell you to leave. I was one of the very first people that they ever put through their new recruitment process, so presumably your experience will be more polished than mine. But it was fun peering into the darkness inside a 50 billion pound company, past the thick polish and veneer of their colossal marketing budget, to see the relative chaos within.
