Haleon Employee Reviews & Ratings

Too many restructuring and changes in the organisation, making career planning and growth difficult.

Everything else. The culture is horrible and they would rather blame a person for a mistake then fix the system that created the issue. Even if on-site management was good, above site management needs to micro-manage everything. Layoffs are far to common, and people yelling at one another happens all the time. Do not work here

More categories to present in different countries

If your manager is not good, your life will be screwed, New company so too many townhalls

Relatively low bonus and a lot of management changes

No cons , it is good place

sometimes lack of good managers

Senior staff out for themselves Bullying in the workplace HR do not support the workers only management

The divestment from GSK formed a new company with different core values, which does not translate to many of the values I liked when I accepted my job under GSK.

Sometimes need to work late due to project deadlines/activities. Need to interview to get promoted

- Office far from the center of the country - Regular changes in the structue and high dependency on global functions

Can be slower than usual sometimes. As expected in a big company

- Some senior managers are too obvious in their treatment of people that they favor and those that they don't, which goes against the purpose of "humanity" that they promote. - No job security. They laid off a big no. of employees within a year of their demerger from GSK. - Some senior managers make the work environment toxic and unpleasant with the politics that they play. They also tend to hire people with similar backgrounds, contradicting the culture of DEI that they encourage.

Toxic working environment, discrimination on job grade. No proper recognition despite putting effort, no work-life balance and no proper SOP

new listed company (high scrutiny from financial world) need to demonstrate consistency in results after spin off from GSK

Career progression needs attention through company

Lot of organisational change keeps happening

Missing strong pipeline, despite many attempts, still way below expectations.

no development plan difficult to move across geographies

Similar to other large multinationals, require time to align strategy across BU and functions

Many organizational transformations happening recently

No fixed allowance Benefits determine based on job grade

Company policies that are set

complex system and process, hign turnover

Politics One way decision making Illogical tasks Monotonous work

Management is highly micromanaging, which leaves little room for employees to work independently or feel trusted. There is a noticeable lack of empathy when it comes to employee well-being, with little understanding or flexibility if someone is sick or dealing with personal matters. The leadership style often comes across as detached and inhuman, prioritizing control and output over collaboration and support, which creates a stressful and discouraging work environment. Management will say to you in a mid year review that you’re not as good as xyz colleague and there’s no career growth. Current leadership team is trying to change culture to French beauty brand that they came from in the past.

-Appears to be very open and casual, but I found it's not the case, at least in the marketing department. Decision making is a lot more "top-down" than you think -Very conservative, as a pharma company ought to be -going through a lot of changes to streamline costs after spin-off from GSK

Toxic work environment. No work life balance. Company is ran by bullies. Screaming at your employees is a normal occurrence. No opportunity for career development

Depends on workload and group

It has undergone through so many restructures that people are often tired, it is a high pressure enviroment and your quality of life at the company often depends on the manager you get

management treats everyone like their idiots, people are let go for no reason, target goals are unrealistic and if you try to push back on management you are basically told to leave the company if you dont want to do whats needed. there is always at least one person crying in the office every week from work pressures or being mistreated.

Possible that you can work longer hours at certain periods depending on nature of tasks or time in the month

Limited Resources in Certain Departments: Some teams may lack the resources needed to fully realize potential projects or handle high demand effectively. Occasional Project Bottlenecks: With a focus on thorough testing and compliance, certain projects may experience delays, which can affect product timelines.

Peoples views and complaints are not considered Supervisors treat to you bad and no one cares Values are only on paper, and when it comes down to it, they are not followed; quite the opposite, in fact Toxic management - people struggle with burnout or depression People don't care to make things better and they avoid responsibility Spread responsibility and accountability, thus noones responsibility Processes are not optimized and no one wants to improve it When you propose a new better way of working, you meet persistence from people People are not open to new things You cannot count on your manager when you come with escalations, they would tell you to deal with anything yourself There is no democracy and you are forced to do things that you don't feel comfortable with or you don't see justification to do They treat you as baby - force you to come to the office twice a week and don't give any reasonable justification when asked Many changes just for the sake of chances Money is hugely wasted and no one cares and no one sees it People are procrastinating and have low performance, but management don't care Many practices are not tailored for the circumstances and the needs, but management imposes them just to show something is happening When you inform HR and upper management that your boss is possibly bullying you, you won't receive any immediate support, only advice to use the official bureaucratic form for reporting grievances To many pointless meetings

None worth mentioning — overall, a highly positive experience.

Lots of processes, although work ongoing to improve.

Its take long time to take strategic decision after separation

New launches regular products Less Importance to ground level feed back

Not pharma anymore. Lots of loss benefits

None I can think of

1. Org structure is a bit spread at the moment that needs streamlining. 2. GSK Legacy still has a strong foothold in ways of working.

Slightly too hierarchical office culture

Honestly nothing to write about that's a real con worth sharing :-) Maybe the location being Paramatta but that's mainly because it's not close to my home - it's very handy for many and has good transport links!

Management of field sales was somewhat wayward and disconnected from real picture. Big variance in quality of management nationally. slow moving

Not much, growth to higher position will be slow

Systems and processes can be challenging to work with

Toxic Culture, Arrogant Leadership. Dishonesty and lack of emotional intelligence.

Constantly under cost pressure which affects the work environment.

Career progression is slow especially for experienced individuals; over time roles have been gradually downgraded; graduates often take priority over experienced employees

The first thing that hit me was that one had to constantly struggle for a work desk, meeting rooms everyday. Some meetings had to be done in the cafeteria which was highly unproductive. A lot of the office space has been wasted in non-ergonomic seating and desks. The office also felt overcrowded. So much for being effective at work. Second, there was too much of activity, for the sake of it, in all departments without real outcomes. Every month, a visit from the regional/global/some other location and everybody just worked to show ‘India shining’ Third, although company had a good leave policy but no carry forward or encashment of leaves, presumably to control the bottom line. Policy looked good on paper only. Fourth, leader of one of the functions responsible for creating org culture, was heard talking negative about team members in front of other employees on more than 1 occasion! So much for highlighting co. culture and values during the interviews Fifth, the company philosophy talks about ‘win as one’ but there is no ‘oneness’ at all between departments or entities. Each is working in their own lala land Sixth, ‘hybrid’ culture is highlighted in their benefits deck at the time of hiring to attract employees, but later you realize that it is upto the department leader and you can be asked to WFO all days of the week!!
