We have offices and sites in over forty countries, and our employees are innovators thinkers and committed to making life delicious.

What Graduates Say About Them

As a graduate at Kraft Heinz, the level of exposure to the senior leadership team and to the wider business in general is what stood out to me.
The culture of the company is probably one of the highlights... Everyone has been really welcoming and supportive.
The grad program is a great way to progress at Kraft Heinz.
The company is very flexible with working hours.
Another great aspect of this company is the global reach, being connected internationally is such a great asset.

Sometimes, the work-life balance can be challenging.
Outdated internal data systems... which leads to widespread inefficiencies.
At my specific site they do not trust us enough... I feel like my site does not follow the same guidelines as others.
You'll be expecting to do whatever you'll need, including overtime and working over weekends.
The hardest part about working here is the complexity of the business and the product portfolio.
