Unsolicited Ideas

From time to time, Newell Rubbermaid does post specific requests for technology and innovation challenges on our Web site under Technology Assets on the “Our Company” page. There are several requirements to responding to a technology request – for instance, your idea must be patented or patent-pending with a published patent application, and it must specifically relate to one or more of the listed areas of Technology Interests. Detailed information on how to respond to a specific request for information or innovation challenge is provided on our Web site. Responses will only be reviewed if they are submitted in accordance with the requirements on the specific request.

If you do send us any unsolicited ideas or suggestions, you agree that there is no confidential relationship with respect to such information and that Newell Rubbermaid has no obligation, including financial, to you in connection therewith. You expressly disclaim and waive all rights in any such information or unsolicited ideas that you submit to Newell Rubbermaid and agree that Newell Rubbermaid will be free to use it in any way without any obligation or payment to you. Furthermore, you represent that you are free to disclose such information and that no other party has any rights in the information.

From the Paper Mate pens in your backpack and the Rubbermaid food storage containers in your kitchen to a Goody brush in your bathroom and an Irwin Vise-Grip in your tool box, Newell Rubbermaid is a part of your life almost every day.

Our U.S. Summer Internship Program is your opportunity to get an in-depth look at our company, brands and people in action and to make direct contributions in your day-to-day work. Past interns have ushered products through development and onto store shelves, conducted consumer research for the Latin American market and participated in SAP go-live for more than 1,000 employees.

A Newell Rubbermaid internship will not only provide you with valuable real-world experiences and a clear picture of who we are and how we work, but it’s also the best way for our company to get to know you!

Do You Have What it Takes?

Newell Rubbermaid interns have take-charge personalities and can work well independently or on teams. Additional keys to success include flexibility, initiative, creativity, excellent communication skills and a willingness to learn.

Intern participants must be currently enrolled full-time in a bachelor’s or master’s degree program at an accredited four-year college or university. We typically target areas of study related to our available positions to ensure successful work performance, so we seek individuals with declared majors and minimum GPAs of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent.

Newell Rubbermaid is an equal opportunity employer and drug-free organization. Minorities, females, people with disabilities and veterans are encouraged to apply. Newell Rubbermaid does not sponsor foreign citizens for H-1B visas, permanent resident status or temporary work authorization for internships.
