  • “I joined Reckitt in 2010, as part of the GDP program in marketing. It was an amazing opportunity to work in different departments and on different brands. I was able to take part in training, meet leaders and discuss various career paths, as well as having a GDP community to exchange thoughts and ideas. From day one I felt it boosted my visibility in the organization and development. It really is a great way to start your career in Reckitt.”

The structure allows you to develop your business competencies at a very fast pace. Much faster than one would expect before joining the program."

  • “I started as intern on the graduate development program in 2020. When I started my internship, I was in my final year of a master’s degree called Big Data. It was the best combination of studying and learning how a business works. I strongly recommend the Graduate Development Programme at Reckitt! Amazing people, culture and growth opportunities.”

The exposure to different departments, significantly broadened my understanding of various areas.
