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.

Nestle MT programme is quite good, not sure about the salary.
Even Unilever MT programme is good.

Oh i see, as nestle is a mnc company i think the pay is also kinda high, because i heard that the shopee's glp program they only pick 2 people tho.

somehow I think the recruitment count is just a way to show prestige. Once you're in, its the same level playing field. Therefore, choose global than local.

So in your opinion, you think that mnc is better when it comes to long term?

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

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.

So in terms of the salary and the working culture, P&G has great benefits for both of them compared to nestle?

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

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?

Okay for fresh grad la. If not work half way go join in the end not elected.

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.

Will they look into the degrees that you have or the qualifications? For instance, a degree in a unique program such as business psychology?

Dono. But most likely will. If not how to filter so many applications?
I think also depends on their open position that needs to be fill up

100% unilever/p&g better than nestle in all aspects. But hey its still a mgmt program where you'll have lots of fun with the other MT.

dont think your degree/major will matter too much

most importantly, what skills/knowledge is transferable from your degree to your work, can be both hard and soft skills

And you will also learn most of it while working

Oh i see cuz rn i'm studying degree in business psychology, so i am wondering will that help out.

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

MT programs often pay higher than market average - of course you have to be the cream of the crop to get that.

Of course money is not everything but money provides motivation.

Tell me if the pay isn’t good, will you accept your current job?

7 years ago boleh la, that time the living expense still okay okay.
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.

Actually, the recruiter might be right in this case. Nestle is a very very good name to have on your CV/resume.

Although you should always aim to be retained after end of contract, but having Nestle experience may open more doors for future opportunities

Hello, hope this thread still alive. I'm interested in Nestle Management Program but I always had problem with passing numerical reasoning test when applying grad program. Do their mt program uses numerical reasoning for their finance? is it easy? I don't know hwy but numerical reasoning is just confusing for me

Yes, Nestle MT online assessment does have a numerical section, but tbh it is one of the easier ones compared to other systems used by other companies

Nestle Malaysia uses Pulsifi, the harder ones are systems like SHL, Pymetrics, Accendo, Mercer, Cut-e etc

Thanks for your response!
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)
