Pros

You sometimes get some free kit-kats.

Cons

No progression - literally stuck doing the same job for years. Management pretend to care about your development, however do not encourage or train you in anything that might mean you can leave. Horrendous training - usually have to just train yourself after watching one person once. Too much focus on pathetic 'pillars' and NCE - total waste of time that achieves precisely nothing yet takes up so much time. Awful organisation, no communication between departments means some days you're running around trying to sort a million things out. Time spent on non--productive activities such as 45min DOR's is another example. Lack of senior and experienced staff means that on some days, there is nobody trained/knows enough about certain things. AWFUL management, particularly within the Microbiology Team; the worst most useless manager that you could ever imagine. No reward or thanks given to the people giving 110% effort and sacrifice to Nestle, reward only given to undeserving people or none at all. Senior management have no clue how to run a group of people, the laboratory has been run into the ground due to poor decisions made by management and this has made the NQAC a terrible place to work. Nestle produce is absolutely disgusting. The pay is terrible for all the work you do.

Pros

You will be given a real project to work on as an intern; you are not doing intern "busy work," and the support team is beyond amazing. The program has great prestige within the company. Many of the top leaders did this program.

Cons

If you do get an offer for the Sales Development Program, the first months as a sales rep are very different than some of the analytical work you do as an intern. Still important to take that rotation seriously to grow in CPG
