Pros

Speed of action, Stable brands, committed to growth of business, and to a good extent, apolitical. Offers opportunities to anyone willing to stretch.

Cons

Highly transactional, considerable unwillingness to see people as humans. Rather view them as any other resource to extract business out of. HR is for namesakes, doesn't do anything concrete for employee wellbeing and engagement. Lives in their own little bubble. Poor work life balance. You are expected to put in late hours as a standard. Grossly lacks systems and processes required of a large business. Leaving you to fend for yourself is a good thing but squarely putting the blame on the individual who tried, isn't. Not everyone in RB works to the pace that's demanded of the organisation and that leads to extreme lacuna. Some people are taking the organisation for a ride at the expense of hard working employees. Lack of systems ensures such people remain a blind spot for the management. Resistance to change, at times, too stubborn at the expense of the employee.

Pros

All of sr leadership is from other countries so they really have no grasp on the business. So if you can do internal presentations, it is easy to look good in sales by just playing the game. Turnover is high, so people advance quickly. You will find lots of people way over their head in key roles

Cons

I came to RB for their entrepreneurial culture. What I found was the complete opposite. In sales you are “given P&L responsibility “, but every promotion is dictated from trade and sr management. In sales you will solely be an executor, and spend all of your time on internal presentations.

Pros

RB is poised to become a world class consumer health and wellbeing company. They are actively investing in it's employees, and identifying ways to keep their top- especially investigating how to retain women. They launched a fantastic maternity program, with 16 weeks fully paid, and the option to take up to a year with job security. Management generally invests in their staf, and works to propell employees forward, and advance.

Cons

Advancement generally requires relocation, although they are trying to reduce this. Smaller teams offer little opportunity to advance, however you can still be compensated well with salary if you fight for it. Outside of marketing, and formulation, you will have little room to explore a career path.
