Reviews
I have a lot of responsibility which is good as it shows I am trusted amongst my peers
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
My day to day responsibilities include product tasting, sensory training, product development project work, consumer research, GMP audits and process improvement (to name a few). No two days are the same.

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.
