7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I think this really depends, if you're still living with your parents then the salary seems pretty good. But if you live on your own and paying rent and bills etc. you'd feel that you're not being paid enough

Social events happen quite often in Unilever, whether that's with your team, department or the whole company. It's also really well thought out and people always have a good time.

Be yourself and be confident during the application process. Don't be afraid to ask people questions.
