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.

Pros

Nice location, nice office. Some good co-workers. Most recruiters know about "The RB Grind" so to speak so if you can handle working at RB they know you can handle working at their company.

Cons

As a recent college graduate, I am - Underpaid compared to comparable graduate development programs. - Overworked compared to comparable graduate development programs. Most of my peers in other companies work 40-50 hour work weeks, I work 60-70. - Partaking in unsatisfying, boring work - Definitely not doing anything to "Be a gamechanger"

Pros

- Good Brands - Good pay - A few friendly colleagues

Cons

- Its hard to sum up what a disappointing place of work RB is. The majority of its people and leadership team do no justice to well known health, home & hygiene brands that are supposed to make peoples lives better. -RB as a business is focused on aggressive growth (at all costs) which raises share prices. With most middle & senior management earning a generous salary and on a very generous share plan scheme most of them are only there for the money and do not really get involved in anything else that does not add to that. - Mainly focused on sales, and marketing to sell even more. - Extremely poor people focus and collaboration across the business. - Expected to deliver from day one without any formal training or any support. - Line managers are not expected to go out of their way to support the team (its just an administrative chore) - Crazy turnover (you end up doing the job of at least 2-3 people which they are unable to replace for long periods of time) - Crazy ambitious and aggressive people who will do anything they can to get promoted. - No meaningful PDR process or development plan. - Incompetent, aggressive and extremely unprofessional, senior management team.
