R&D Intern

May - August 2019 • Trumbull, CT

What I liked

I felt like I was really valued and a part of a team, instead of just an intern that runs around and gets coffee for the full-time employees. I was given a project that I was fully in charge of that related to real-world problems and business needs.

What I wish was different

Advice

You need to be self-motivated and confident in yourself and your knowledge.

Marketing Intern

June - August 2018 • Englewood Cliffs, NJ

What I liked

I loved how interactive my internship project was. I learned a lot about each function, not just marketing, and was able to get a better understanding on how marketing interacts with the rest of the company.

What I wish was different

More training sessions on processes and maybe a brief intro to all roles to find the best points of contact as you complete your intern project.

Advice

Interact with your team, network with people and learn about their experience with the company as much as possible. Take learnings from everyone you speak to.

Research and Development Intern

May - August 2019 • Trumbull, CT

What I liked

I loved the work I did and the people I got to meet through this internship. Unilever as a company cares a lot about its employees, and does a great job of assigning meaningful intern projects and very good intern managers. I learned so much about research in the industry, as well as a lot of the business effects of research which I was not expecting.
