Pros

Good growth opportunity and smart people ...Great PTO (4weeks). Move up fast because of high turnover

Cons

Projects are ALWAYS falling behind and you will be expected to pull a rabbit out of a hat to still launch on time. Very little work life balance. Timelines are not respected by management so everything becomes “outside of the process”. Everyone is overworked with low pay. Not worth sacrificing your family. Typical week is 50-60 hours. After 5 years, I had to put my children first and left to another CPG. Over 50% of your team will leave within 2-3 years.

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.
