Pros

Joined as an FTC and was made permanent with thanks to my persistent manager. In a global function, and geographically split team, I had lots of flexibility with where I could work, so was remote, which they are now tightening up on. I was thankful to have been sponsored through some external training to develop for a role I was interested in [which never actualised due to reorganisation]. See 'cons' re: re-org - Genuinely, before the re-org, and once the re-org is over, I'm sure Reckitt will become a great place to work again.

Cons

Your experience may depend on who your manager is, and the team dynamic. I had a few different managers and some were micro-manager-y, quite transactional, not invested in my growth [was an FTC at this time though], others are very supportive and helped me to grow. A huge problem I faced was banding - I found out I was being compensated below my banding which was disappointing. Again I had a persistent manager who campaigned for me however changes here were blocked by HR due to re-org. It seems that the managers do not have much visibility or control re: reward. Lastly, I was disappointed with how the re-org played out. Not just that I lost my job as a result, but it took so long [nearly a year] for the re-org to affect my function, and the communication and leadership was very poor, which meant we were running off anxiety for a year, which naturally affects team moral. It is very painful for your dept head to excitedly announce with a smile on their face that finally next week our team's re-org plans will be announced, followed by being told the next week that I'm being made redundant as a result of these plans.

Pros

Feel that the pay is above market standard for similar roles.

Cons

Intense, cold, cut throat. Feel like when you speak with any employee they’re burnt out, Managment beyond demanding. High profile brands, don’t align with low end culture.
