About to sign a contract with @Unilever for their UFLP programme R&D track. Contract contains a non-compete clause of 1 year after end of employment. I did not expect this and I'm afraid this will not allow me to work for any other company in the nutrition space in close relation to R&D. Do any of you have any experience with the strictness of the non-compete?

It’s now standard to have a Non-Compete. You can actually negotiate this…ask to have it shortened to 6 months. They’re almost never enforced unless you hold top secret knowledge and considerable intellectual property such as patents.

Thanks for your perspective, I was thinking about this is as well. Shortening the N-C should be reasonable, was thinking about it too!

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is no non-compete is iron clad. Meaning they could try to action it, but likely would not hold up.

Found this on Google: For a non-compete clause in an employment contract to be enforceable, it must be reasonable. For example, the non-compete clause must be reasonable in terms of geographical (area) and time scope, considering the specific type of work and the interests involved.

Im curious how this works at Unilever. They own so many companies. Is it a non-compete for the specific brand you're working in, or is it for all of CPG? For example, they have ice cream, home care, nutrition, etc. Is the non-compete just for nutrition or is it for all of CPG. If its all CPG that would be kind of crazy

Hi, are you able to share the salary for the UFLP? Considering applying..

I am running into quite similar issues in almost all of the companies I have worked so far: Most of the senior engineers just exclude me in the important technical meetings whereas I am doing an important part (technical) of a project. They either think I am not knowledgeable enough for a particular task or just that I am good at doing some non-technical/manual task. I am the only female in the technical team and how do I address this issue & to whom? Thanks in advance!
