Pros

The fast-pace of decision-making, the focus on the bottom line, short-term thinking and strategic outlook. International mobility is great if you're willing to relocate to markets other than North America. (Beware though that you get localized after two-years - often resulting in a lower income than what you're getting paid in the US). RB is a very Sales driven organization - expect to spend a lot of time learning and doing what the Sales guys want to do. Unlike the other tier 1 CPG companies that are very consumer focused, RB will give you significant exposure to this area.

Cons

The whole company operates on the mantra of "speed over perfection", which ultimately leads to rushed decisions that are made with either sub-standard analysis, poor information or under-the-gun thinking. There's also a tendency to push for more than what people can deliver in the name of overachieving but this unfortunately results in many good colleagues burning out quickly. No attention is paid to people-development. You own your own career and the managers could care less if you're being properly trained or groomed for your next position.

Pros

Feel that the pay is above market standard for similar roles.

Cons

Intense, cold, cut throat. Feel like when you speak with any employee they’re burnt out, Managment beyond demanding. High profile brands, don’t align with low end culture.
