But the element that made a difference to me goes beyond the growth opportunities and the people. It's the excitement. The pace is fast, and there's a certain energy to the atmosphere. One of the things that sets Kraft apart is our emphasis on employee development. Management makes sure that you take time to focus on your long-term goals and what you need to do to achieve those goals.
Development here means a lot more than going off to a training program.
We also have training to help us develop our expertise in marketing and in general management skills. At the end of every year, I sit down with my manager to plan my goals for the year ahead. We talk about my role in moving the business forward. We also talk about what I need to do to move me forward in my career.
