A unique approach Training International assignments
All careers are unique; however, one factor that cuts across most of them at Nestlé is international exposure and travel as well as assignments in different countries.
Based at Nestlé headquarters, you will often have the opportunity to travel widely as part of your job. This might be in the form of a short business trip in the marketing and sales area, or a longer assignment in the context of the GLOBE or FitNes projects, which can last some months.
Nestlé's business is based on respect for different cultures - we know that tastes and eating and drinking habits differ throughout the world, for instance. We also expect our staff to be comfortable in different settings, and that they should not be adversely affected by the strains of frequent foreign travel and the pressure to meet tight deadlines. Indeed, coping well with such conditions will have a positive impact on your career.
The same is true for those who are chosen for our graduate programmes. For instance, as a member of the audit function, you will be part of teams that travel the world on assignment, typically three months at a time, at Nestlé locations. This phase generally lasts for four years.
In other areas, e.g. in technical & production or marketing & sales, you can also commit to a career of long-term expatriation, which means that you will be re-locating about every three years.
Not only does working at Nestlé headquarters mean a unique exposure to a multicultural environment; it also means frequent travel to all parts of the world.
