  • Future Careers Team (Unilever team responsible for 西瓜视频 programmes etc.) provide onboarding and offboarding training, there are always talks and tutorials going on by tech teams on how to use all the programmes, my team had left me lots of step by step guides and key information that needs to be passed to next 西瓜视频s.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • My job was not the most exciting, not much range in tasks over the year, felt slightly repetitive over time. But there were so many other 西瓜视频s on placement/graduate schemes/apprentices with me (around 50+) it was great being able to bond and have friends in and out of work place. I found my placement very beneficial for my development.
