Pros

Great benefits, PTO, generally great co-workers. You have access to a company store with Nestle products, and the leadership seem to genuinely care about team members (where they can).

Cons

Yikes - quite a few, and they are process and people related. They continue to hire middle management instead of worker bees, so getting a vendor paid can take 5+ months. It's ridiculous and no one knows why the execs don't address this issue. Also, internal politics are a mess. It's the typical issues related to promoting people out of departments to pass them off instead of doing the hard work of firing them - for performance issues and for interpersonal concerns. We've got folks in leadership that receive complaints from inside the company and from customers, but nothing ever happens. Very sad.

Pros

Fast and efficient interview process with transparent and friendly team members. Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. Highly collaborative work environment with supportive colleagues. Flexible start date and positive onboarding experience. Exciting time to join with strong company momentum and growth opportunities.

Cons

As a global organization, building connections with team members across regions can take time. Some processes are still evolving, which can create occasional day-to-day challenges but also presents opportunities for improvement. Certain decisions require global alignment, which can sometimes extend timelines. Operating within a global structure may require additional coordination across teams. Opportunities exist to continue streamlining processes and clarifying ownership.
