Nestlé – “Nestle, Good Food, Good Life... Most of the time”

Pros

Nestle makes great products, recognizes family as being important, and strives to continuously improve in all areas of the company. International travel, assignments, etc. can be very interesting, challenging and rewarding. Nestle recognizes and accommodates employees personal and career goals and can be very helpful to reach both. Nestle is a very healthy company in both the products that it makes as well as financially and is very well managed in this respect making it a very safe and secure place to work in very trying economic times.

Cons

Extra work is often required to meet ever increasing expectations which leads to a very stressful environment.

Advice to Senior Management

While work-life balance is a major theme at Nestle, it is rarely realized in day-to-day work. Senior management should either make an effort to achieve this lofty goal or recognize that this is not the reality and acknowledge it in corporate communications.
