Reviews
Learning, lectures and research project
Felt like I was needed within the team. Very BAU role which would otherwise require a full time equivalent. Lots of exposure to how manufacturing and quality etc work. Also lots of interaction with external vendors.
One of the core purposes of the graduate program is to gain an excellent technical understanding of the business while working to complete a masters degree. We must ensure that we are continuously learning and working towards completing the degree.

Pros and cons of working at Fonterra
Pros
The best part of the company is everybody is friendly and welcoming, and it organizes programs like morning tea and end-of-month drinks where we can meet and share our thoughts.
Responsibility as a grad within rotations. Wide range of exposure within the company between people and opportunities.
Fonterra places importance on developing their employees and giving them excellent opportunities.
Collaborative culture, supportive seniors, and a positive atmosphere.
Flexible working—WFH 2/3 days for business grads is the norm.
Cons
Expectations of us as grads are sky-high, and our manager's influence extends outside work.
Pay doesn’t feel fair—new graduates coming in at a higher salary than those who have been here almost two years.
A lot of change—mergers, divestments, and restructures, which can leave a sense of unease.
The culture varies so much between teams, which means that work and support can be variable.
Sometimes lack of support from the seniors because most of them are tied up with projects.
