    It is a good place to work if you are a follower and just wanted to get paid on time and go home.
    The good thingsGood employee benefits -medical, high EPF contribution, in house clinic
    The challengesThere’s a concerning level of complacency within the company, with many long-tenured staff clinging to their “usual” ways and showing little openness to new approaches. Only panic and react when huge issue hits them. SOPs are unclear and poorly structured, and processes often feel scattered, making cross-functional collaboration especially for new joiners unnecessarily difficult as roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined.The commercial team is particularly weak not professional and not aggressive(speaking from my past working experience as sales personnel) with frequent communication breakdowns and the absence of a clear, strategic sales plan. Transparency is also lacking, with issues often quietly swept under the rug rather than addressed openly. Too much involvement from the global people on local decisions.

    Working at Lactalis Trading has been a great learning experience. As part of a global dairy company, you get to work with well-known brands like President, Lactel, and QBB. The exposure to regional processes, supply chain flows, and systems like SAP really helped build my skills. Overall, it’s a solid company to build your career, especially if you want to grow in FMCG or the dairy industry.
    The good thingsGreat place to pick up experience with global processes and systems like SAP. The team is helpful and there’s a lot of cross-department interaction. You get to be hands-on and involved in real decision-making.
    The challengesSome internal processes could be more streamlined, especially in stock and return handling. Greater alignment between departments would help increase efficiency.
