Reckitt reviews

- People management and people development are absolutely foreign concepts to this company. Senior managers are not equipped for that - No clear career paths and guidance. You're getting promoted or your next assignment if this and that guy knows you personally, rather than based on your results and skills - Much touted Leadership charter remains mostly on paper, as senior managers keep behaving as they used to behave before - in many cases as mini-kings in their fiefdoms - RB comes up with lots of new projects, but is not ready to either invest or hire resources to succeed with them - so it ends up in the hands of current employees and squeezed into current budgets. So these projects die of natural causes after a while - Business decisions are driven by top managers' opinions and perceptions, rather than by data and rationale - Lots of internally-focused zero added value work - Bonuses seem lucrative on paper, but in reality they are modest due to the mediocre company performance

Few clear internal processes can make getting thing done challenging at best and chaotic at worst... however if you have the right attitude you will take this in your stride by focusing on what you need to achieve. Would rather this way then being shackled by internal process. Work loads are tough and, if you are contentious, your work life balance will suffer. However if you are career driven it is a compromise worth making as the reward are there providing you are someone who can turn hard work and effort into performance
