Pros

If you do well on a project you will be given a lot of opportunity.

Cons

People that do well on projects are rewarded with management roles. This is fine if they are inherently a great leader. However, that is seldom the case. This results in a very 1980's management style (a la the previous CEO) that rewards forcing square pegs into round holes without concern for collateral damage.

Pros

Reckitt is a great place to build some experience in the consumer goods industry.

Cons

Speak to any recruiter and they will tell you that Reckitt has the most cut throat culture in the CPG space. Having worked at multiple firms, I think this is true. I think this goes hand in hand with the colleagues that you’ll work with: most are good at their jobs, but nearly all are not top talent. Given that the NA HQ is 1.5 hours from NYC, other more qualified candidates stay away from working here, resulting in a workforce that is second rate in quantitative ability, strategic decision making, and emotional intelligence. This feeds into the culture, which then leads to incompetent management and poor business sections. It was said that “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” This, in tandem with its workforce, makes Reckitt a decent company instead of a great company.

Pros

Great Salary & Benefits, Gym in Office, Summer Fridays, Some Nice Employees

Cons

Please do not believe the fake HR reviews on here as another reviewer stated. They are trying to up their rating in order to attract new talent. You have been warned...STAY AWAY. This company is a mess. First and foremost, all BUs here have completely different processes with no consistency across the company. It is a very tough culture to get used to since a large amount of employees in the NJ office are international and are used to doing things "their way". There is 0 training for new hires which is extremely tough in our virtual world. The turnover is so high because employees are overworked day and night and asked to meet impossible sales targets. Upper management likes to come up with numbers in thin air with no rhyme or reason. If you enjoy being stressed out & miserable every day, Reckitt is the place for you.
