Nasty and poor leadership

Anonymous

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, shares, nice office, good work life balance

Cons

Consumer Healthcare leadership very poor, very nasty and condescending people working there. Only get ahead if you heavily brown-nose LT. HR very good at covering up LT mistakes and do not hold LT to account. Very good, experienced people left bullied and leave as a result. LT carry on like they think they are living the values but really have no focus on them at all and environment is toxic and clique-y. Too much fake-ness and promotions based on mates system.

Understaffed, therefore overworked during my internship. Everyone seems to be very stressed and overworked, resulting in high tensions between colleagues, arguments were aplenty.
