      Pros

      The coffee is very tasty. The location is a block away from Grand Central Station, so it is a commuter's dream.

      Cons

      I am sad to say that there is a lack of leadership at Nespresso US. Senior management (Mancom) has little respect for the organization. At the very highest levels, there is an entitled, pompous approach to interacting with people across the organization. Processes are confusing, cross functional cooperation is non-existent, and there is no shortage of people who enjoy causing others to fail miserably. Working in an accusatory environment gets old. Stay away from this disaster. I was shocked that this is a Nestle company.

      Hello – Thank you for your input. I hear your point of view, but obviously totally disagree with it and I will explain why. Over the past 18 months, I have travelled with my Mancom team to multiple locations across the U.S. visiting our Boutiques, Trade and business partners. I have shaken many hands at different levels of the organization with the same respect. Based on a recent internal survey conducted by an external provider, results show that employees were positive about our communication channels (above 80%). Additionally, when employees are asked about ‘coffee chats’ that you mention, over 75% approve and ask even for more… As a leader, these sessions allow me not only to be transparent, but also inspire and motivate employees. I appreciate the fact that our company culture did not meet your expectations. I wish you all the best to find a position in an environment that will fit better with your profile and needs. Should you like to provide more specific information regarding your experience, please contact me or our confidential employee help-line at 888-424-2409. Thank you for your comments, Guillaume Le Cunff President @ Nespresso USA

      Dedicated to Investing in People

      Pros

      Nespresso is a brand that is not only dedicated to investing in it's product lines; it is also focused on investing in it's people. This is a company that you can succeed in and grow with if you want it. The amount of time, thought and money that is invested in the education and growth of each employee is incredible. Nespresso cares about developing leaders for the future of the business. Many companies just focus on the present but Nespresso is dedicated to building future leaders. Nespresso is also dedicated to ensuring that all employees no matter what their job function are fully immersed in the heart of it's business and at Nespresso that's coffee. Spending time to teach employees about just what it takes to make a capsule of coffee and it goes far beyond that. This is a company that is doing it right with regards to creating a human value chain by creating shared value & sustainability. It's not just about the coffee; it's about the people; the people who work for Nespresso and not just in the offices or boutiques; it's also about the farmer's who work in the fields to grow the coffee that makes that perfect cup. This is a company that cares enough to prepare it's workforce for a stable future by investing in the people. If you're ready to start a career that will change you life and inspire you to be better each and every day this company is for you.

      Cons

      Every employee of every company can list cons but for me that list is so small compared to the passion that I feel each and every day for the work that I do, the people that I work with and the company that I am a part of.

      Pros

      * You might get some freedom, if you're (very) lucky. * Their interview process was one of the best around Lausanne, which lead them to hire skilled engineers - not sure if that is still the case

      Cons

      Most of their IT suck. It starts with the clunky infrastructure, heavily based on puppet, with very average sys-admins (some are barely able to write a script or understand the red hat package manager). Unfortunately as a software developer you must get through them to have anything deployed. Then their applications... it starts with the infamous Nesclub2, based on Hybris, written by a cohort of junior Moroccan developers (in Morocco). Then the even worse Nesclub3 supposed to work with SAP (no comment), written by another bunch of juniors (this time from Italy)... A lot of their tools seem to come from the 90's, reflecting their management practices, which is the worst part of Nespresso. Managers (some are called 'architects') are literally clueless and are just good at one thing: politics. That's really what differentiates an engineering company from a cafe company: in a cafe company, IT guys are just seen as labourers that are totally expandable.
