Some of our employees give you an insight into the opportunities in R&D in Unilever.
Andrew Cox
"There are two major plus points about working in Unilever R&D. One is the fact that you are given freedom to be adventurous in your research and do what you need to make it work. The other is the fact that you work in highly diverse teams, where you can always learn from others and also make your expertise count in delivering innovation."
Dr Stella Peace
"Throughout my time with Unilever I have been amazed by the spectrum of activities that I have experienced. Working in multidisciplinary teams to drive technology into the marketplace provides thrills and challenges that I could never have anticipated when I made the step out of academia."
Marcia de Ferran - Global Appraisal & Consumer Technical Insights Manager, Port Sunlight UK
"Some people think R&D is just about formulating products. But there's also how the product performs – does it really deliver the benefits we think it does, and can we legitimately tell consumers about those benefits, and that it is better than ever and so on? That's what I do."
Yann Leray - Hair research, Evaluation, Port Sunlight UK
"What is most satisfying about working in Unilever R&D is the diversity of people – both the diversity of cultures and also of scientific backgrounds. You might find yourself in a session one day brainstorming an issue with ten scientists, all experts in different scientific fields – it's fascinating."
