At Kellogg's we have a vision of enriching and delighting the world through foods and brands that matter; with the purpose of nourishing families so that they can flourish and thrive.We have a history over 100 years, operating in more than 180 countries, across 6 continents, with dedication and passion from each and every one of our 30,000 employees.

Elements that differentiate your company from others? 

When W.K. Kellogg gave away virtually all his wealth to the Kellogg Foundation in 1930, he created a legacy that lives on today. Not only does one of the world’s largest charities bear his name, but his legacy – and his values – also live on in the heart and soul of our company.This is the core that defines our continuing passion for the community and environmental causes, striving to make a difference year by year. For example, last year we have achieved in Bucharest 5050 hours of volunteering for children, families, others in need and for our environment.

Our employees also enjoy cross-functional initiatives that encourage them contribute to our company's values by living their passion and expressing themselves. Our people have the freedom to organize their own committees and plan the initiatives for their colleagues. All of us are encouraged to come up with ideas and take ownership for our well-being.
Our workplace is vibrant as our people have a great energy, and feeling safe in a diverse and inclusive environment (we have colleagues who joined us from Italy, Singapore, Australia, UK, USA, Germany and so on). Our people enjoy the international environment and take the benefit of experiencing multiple cultures and mind-sets, adding on our growth path.

What does performance mean for an employee?

We have an internal governance, measuring employee’s performance, based on business goals and also, their professional development goals.

At the end of the year, there is a conversation around the performance overall, where both employee and manager share feedback and ideas for the future.

Which are the most special benefits or internal initiatives?

We offer a wide range of benefits, starting from team events to various discounts to several retailers.

All in all, our employees can find them on an online platform.
