Hi i would like to ask, anyone here is currently working for Nestle's management trainee program? I'm talking about the Nestle's HQ at mutiara damansara.
How's the working life there like? What do i expect to learn from there? Approximately how much is the salary there, can it be compared with the shopee's global leadership program as i heard from someone saying that they are paying around 6k per month. Can i learn everything there or just a particular stuff there?
Should i choose P&G or Shopee over Nestle?

IMO Shopee > Nestle > P&G Global Leadership > Management Trainee For stress level FMCG > Ecommerce Been into both field.

Once you're in, its the same level playing field. Therefore, choose global than local.

I would go for Global MNC, rather than start up like Shopee, it gives your CV and edge. This is assuming the salary difference isn’t too big
P&G = Nestle > Shopee

QUOTE(Yuuki1122 @ Mar 2 2020, 02:49 PM) In terms of pay for entry level/MT Shopee > P&G (no MT program, Sales Key Account Manager is the entry level role) > Unilever > Nestle But Nestle MT intake is the biggest among the above companies, each track (HR, Marketing etc) on average 4ppl per batch But shopee they only recruit only 2 people per year tho and it's very hard to get in.

Never worked at any of these companies, but I feel like Shopee has a pretty good culture and it's young, up and coming. P&G is pretty big and established, so it will definitely have some good benefits.
Not sure about Nestle, but just my $0.02 worth

They will hire 100000000 people and pick a handful of it only.
Unless you willing to work 8 to 10 and 7 days.
Most likely you won't be able to get chosen

QUOTE(Yuuki1122 @ Mar 9 2020, 04:42 PM) I can assure you that this is fake news. Usually established MT programs will receive up to 1000 applicants, after filtering and online assessment, only about 100 will go through the group assessment/assessment centre and then they will hire anywhere between 5-15 MT each batch (depending on company) And no, you dont have to work 8am-10pm, 7days a week (for some companies like consulting maybe yes, but be assured that you'll be well compensated). Only Chinaman/SME will have culture like this. I was obviously exaggerating. But 5 to 15 MT hired out of 100 short list and from 1000 applicants. The odds are still very low. No. They don't require you to work from 8 am to 10pm, 7 days a week. But in order to get in the 5 to 15. What makes you think 70%of the applicants will not do that to get into the slot?

If not work half way go join in the end not elected. Hurt future prospects in resume

Shopee if you can get in. Pays the best amongst all by a significant proportion + global rotation (but workload is higher as you're driving a lot of strategic projects).
Unilever/P&G is my next
Nestle would be my last option. Went to career fair once and Nestle's MA were there - 80% of them looks very cincai.
But grab it even if you only got accepted to Nestle. IMO starting a career with one of these graduate programs was one of the best decisions I've made.

As i know shopee only picks 2 applicants in a year to enter the glp, and i think that they only pick the best among all, so i think the probability is very low And as for unilever and p&g they are both well established fmcg companies tho so i think the benefits is also great there. But in terms of benefit, i think nestle offers the best amongst them. But in terms of salary i'm not so sure about it.

But hey its still a mgmt program where you'll have lots of fun with the other MT.

Just got the offer from Nestle and you can expect the salary to be well above 4k. There will also be allowance and bonus on top of that

But for now, maybe most salary still stick to last 7 years range, but living expense is almost 20% dude (Imagine 3% inflation rate in Malaysia, 7 years x 3%= 21%). Unless, the salary also increase 20% from 7 years range.

Ohh I'm familiar with shl style quetions. What kind of math do Pulsifi got? Would it be like aptitude test or more like SHL type (for ex, analysing graphs, table)
