Nestlé Internal Audit - YouTube

I

Started audit as an intern and I decided I really loved it. They offered me a full-time position and I gleefully accepted

Everybody is so welcoming,

so kind, so passionate about what they do and it really shows what kind of people we have working for us and

It's a great reflection on the company

some of my first days at Nestle Purina were

Just a lot of learning Purina in general just has a really great training program and mentoring program

So it's just really deep diving into Nestle's culture environment

It is a group of ambitious

and energetic auditors who like to learn who crave change and who want to make a difference in all areas within the company from

Factories and distribution centers to headquarters and in sales office locations

really there is no typical day

We cover every one of Nestle's operating companies from Purina to Professional to Nestle USA

So really getting to look at the production process and the sales process for all these different operating companies

It's intense and challenging and that's due though by design. It's a challenge that you learn to grow from and you learn to

dissect complex information and complex data

And that's why we were looked at as a talent pool because we can take that information

Once we leave and join a management type role and we've been put into situations that a lot of people haven't

Executives really look the Nestle Internal Audit department to be a training ground for future leaders in the company people that have high learning agility

That create change but want to make a difference in this company and move on into into a management position

I started as an Advanced Staff Auditor

I had the opportunity after a year to move into the HR department, the skills that I learned an audit would be

confidence and

the ability to speak to

Leadership with the executive level. What you're doing in the audit department is learning for your next steps in your career

I think one of the best things that that audit teaches you is your ability to

learn things that you don't know. Audit is going to put you in a lot of situations that

Maybe you're not an expert in but you have to teach yourself the skills to be successful

Auditors also in North America get a chance to travel

Internationally as much as they want being an internal audit

it's just a great opportunity for you to travel after a couple of years of being with the

Internal Audit team you are going to be able to move outside to

the business in Nestle

Just through my four years. I've gotten to go to cool locations like Puerto Rico and then internationally

I've gone to Switzerland multiple times. I've gotten to Germany, Canada, to Montreal, South Africa, China

I'm currently working in Guatemala City, Guatemala

My name is Justin. I'm currently auditing in Cape Town, South Africa. Hello future auditors. I'm Kyle

Currently, I'm an audit with the NIA Center team in the last few months. I have spent in Bangalore, India

We offer a great work-life balance for a role like this where we are travel heavy

I do get to come home every weekend to spend time with my family and my husband which is the great perk

The main piece of advice that I would give anybody about joining us internal audit is go do it now

Get ready to learn, get ready to be challenged

Get ready to be put in uncomfortable situations

the group really

develops friendships in this department and develops networks even outside of this group with their stakeholders that they audit

there is a good range of opportunities and I will say

just go ahead and do these at the later because it's gonna be great for me

there is not anything else that I would have rather done with my last four years the

Relationships, the connections that you built here are lifelong. It's been extremely challenging but it's probably the most

Important thing that I'll take away from this experience
