    What’s it like working at Ferrero?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees at Ferrero consistently praise the excellent work/life balance, with no nights or weekends and reasonable working hours. The company culture is friendly and positive, with supportive and collaborative colleagues who create a good team environment. Employees appreciate the autonomy to work independently and manage their own schedules, as well as generous company benefits including free chocolate, celebrations, and travel reimbursement.

    However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Field-based employees note that storing merchandising materials at home can be difficult due to space constraints. Meeting sales targets and display numbers can be demanding, as merchandising roles include sales responsibilities. Several employees mention that technology and IT systems are outdated and could benefit from modernisation. Additionally, management approaches can vary, with occasional challenges in communication and expectations, and workload can become demanding during busy periods, as is common in FMCG companies.
