Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Mondelez?
Amazing experience at Mondelez so far! I have developed so much as an individual and truly learned from the very best. The early careers programme has exceeded my expectations. I genuinely enjoy my role.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?

To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
5/5
Fabulous opportunity, my ideas are heard and put forward. In activation your ideas can truly come to life and you can be creative. My team really value me, and I can see the impact I create. Great team culture too.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
4/5
Decent salary for a graduate role, £35,000 (in 2025). Manager's awards can also boost pay. Bi-annual pay reviews based on performance (business and personal). There used to be a company car provided to graduates in the final rotation, but this perk has been removed (hence the loss of star).
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
5/5
This graduate scheme is setting me up for future success. Breadth over depth is a saying at Mondelez, throughout the graduate scheme you really get a taste of different areas of the business! It is such a great opportunity and broadens your network and skill set. I am excited for my final rotation... and beyond!
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
4/5
Good onboarding training for new starters. The handover really depends on your predecessor.
Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
5/5
Amazing support from my immediate team, they are always cheering me on! My line manager looked out for me, and went out of their way to help me improve (i.e., put me in contact with different people in the business & exposed me to client facing meetings). There are also mentoring opportunities, but you need to seek these out yourself! I have a buddy on my new team, who is always super friendly and helpful.
How is your work-life balance?
5/5
Pretty good in Shopper Marketing. Flexi Fridays are great perk too! You're allowed to start early and leave earlier too (i.e., 8am start, 4pm finish).
This is dependent on the role and team you're in.

What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
5/5
In my first rotation there was a fabulous organisational culture. I completely adored my team and could go to them anytime! We would have a weekly catch up to discuss our weekend plans, priorities and wins of the week. There are monthly team meetings too, where you can connect with the broader team. Sometimes team socials (team dependent).
Hybrid working, 3 days in the office, 2 days at home (typically Monday and Friday).

How would you rate Mondelez initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
4/5
Great, there are lots of Employee Resource Groups which celebrate DEI. I was part of one, and really enjoyed being able to put on different initiatives and lead new ideas. It's also a great way to meet more people in the business who you usually would not speak too.
How would you rate Mondelez CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
3/5
There are opportunities to volunteer. I helped out at a local charity in Uxbridge during my induction period, which was very wholesome. You can also raise money for charities such as Grocery Aid and Alzheimer's Research. Some teams have volunteering days.
To participate in these initiatives you need to be proactive in signing up to them.

When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Mondelez?
- Agility over perfection. Do not leave the tests/interviews to the last minute, complete it as fast as you can.
- Be yourself throughout the whole recruitment process, they want to pick you for YOU!
- Onboarding, be a sponge. You are not expected to learn everything in an hour.
- Be open minded. Throughout the graduate scheme you are exposed to different functions, you need to be willing to try something new.
