Pros

There is always an opportunity to fix something Challenging by nature to fix whatever issue/business situation you have inherited Can grow in the ladder if you are smart to pick opportunities where you are able to deliver them fast.

Cons

Many projects die after months because the changes/turnover/lack of follow-up of the person that inherited the project. RB is very international/multicultural company, this also implies you are in a "lottery" of personalities that will be your teamwork You can perceive when people have been or not been raised within RB by identifying those that are constantly celebrating the "past glories". It is not a company for people that are process oriented or are looking for a work/life balance You need to be aware of your own development, RB will not offer you "formal" training. People that are >4 years within RB seems to forget what is happening in the external world in terms of best practices. Career opportunities only come to mobile people

Pros

Superior benefits, fair pay, opportunity for advancement based on your desire to move up the ranks. Some corporate perks such as the store, safety bonuses and others.

Cons

Lack of support, upper management not in touch with what really goes on in the plant (especially on night/evening shifts) control freaks with seniority who will sabotage newbies that do not kiss up to them as they see fit, clique type dynamics which leads to a hostile working environment, long 12 hour shifts, lack of decent air conditioning in hot summers, favoritism, not a progressive or supportive manufacturing environment.

Great school but too much short-sighted!

Pros

Since the very first day you are already given autonomy and responsibility. You need to learn things quickly and to establish relationships in order to "survive". Management is open to dialogue and you can raise your hand whenever you feel like!

Cons

The whole company has a very short-term view that often results is tough timings, strong pressure, waste of resources to do things that then result were not needed! HR is basically absent, prepare you package when you arrive and wonder if something is going wrong only when you leave. Performance is not rewarded as it should be. I do not feel meritocracy is really a value here.
