Pros

A very fast paced organisation always looking to drive the business and share holder value aggressively. Their obsession with stock price is a key reason why they dole out stocks to senior talent. Extremely agile and willing to change and adapt to drive short term gains. Multiple opportunities for exposure to senior management

Cons

Senior management is very reactive and this reflects in the frequency of reorganisation- twice in 2 years. This stems from their short term focus and lack of long term thinking- this bodes a serious threat to the business. All the current success is a result of brand building done decades back— nothing even mentionable in the present. Most importantly, RB lacks people orientation. They are willing to sacrifice and punish people for business. There is a clear lack of ethics and dignity in the way they treat people. Top management is just interested in ensuring that they get their stock grants every year, at ANY cost. They way they are handling the current restructuring goes to show how they treat people. So unless you are desperate for a job, avoid RB with a barge pole.

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.
