Easy application process and interview was the standard questions you would be asked for a microbiology job with a mix of competency based questions based on the company and events that may occur.

Hired through an employment agency. Attended a 30-minute video interview with the manager of a microbiology lab. Very laid-back and conversational. Basic interview questions. Waited less than a week to hear back.

It was not really an interview, but rather an assessment. The whole process lasted 4 hours with several tasks to complete: The first was a technical interview (called SOL interview) with two interviewer. It lasted for one hour. The next interview was about the leadership vision given by Unilever in advance. Personal examples had to be given for the applications of the required leadership skills. This was followed by a case study. This study was given on a paper with one hour preparation time in order to complete a presentation. An overview of the case study will be given below: A company produces ham from Turkey with bread crust. The crust is fried and then added to the ham. Both is then cooked in an oven before frozen. The product should be cooked before consumed; however, it should be safe to eat without cooking. Other competitors do not include the cooking step. How is it possible to reduce the cooking time and temperature in the oven without decreasing consumer safety. Tasks: Which is the main hazard in the product? How would you perform a risk assessment and which advice would you give to the company? Which data is required for a quantitative risk assessment?
