I have been given many different responsibilities throughout rotations in raw materials, product development and science and regulatory affairs. Although I have worked on smaller improvement jobs I would love to continue to make my mark and for the company to benefit from my input

Pros and cons of working at Suntory Oceania

Pros

  • I really love the team culture and the support to be curious and to expand your knowledge all the time.

  • The opportunities I have been given have been incredible and I feel very lucky to be a part of such a great work environment.

  • The culture is great as everyone is very friendly. We also hang out outside of work socially which shows they're more than just your co-workers.

  • The flexibility with hours has been great.

  • Great Managers - they all want the best for you and look out for you. If you ask for it they will guide and push you to be the best you.

Cons

    • Lower than standard salary with annual pay reviews.

    • Maybe one thing would be the slight disconnect and miscommunication that comes with managing new and old processes.

    • The commute and traffic with offices being out in Manukau.

    • I lose track of overtime hours I have done and don't often take the time off that I am owed.

    • The hiring process was well communicated and engaging but it was a very long process.
