Reckitt reviews

A lot of sometimes uneccesarry depth on internal reporting & presenting focus Meritocracy still needs networking to get you somewhere in some cases Almost no structured personal development, beyond a twice yearly plans & reviews, which are often delivered as an afterthought when the deadlines loom So focused on annual targets that sometimes the right long term strategy is not 'approved' Good performance or initiatives can be dismissed or over-looked if not communicated in a certain style Upward & downward feedback can be lacking in structure, frequency and respect

Lack of clear, consistent direction from senior leadership and an inability to decide which business unit to keep and which to sell off results in constantly fluctuating priorities. No real oversight over senior leaders and absence of an empowered HR function means each employee's experience can be dramatically different and varies depending on who the manager happens to be. General confusion regarding values and how they translate into real action seems to prevail resulting in a toxic culture where everyone is only looking out for themselves and frequent blame game rears its ugly head the minute business results slow down (which they inevitably do after every good run)
