My current role is placed with the Learning and Development team. day-to-day I have enough work to complete daily, with weekly check-ins with my manager. I have a routine throughout the week. This includes check-ins, stand-up calls and other meetings with enough autonomy to feel trusted I can complete tasks myself to a good standard.

Pros and cons of working at Kraft Heinz Company

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

    • 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    • Outdated internal data systems...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.
