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

Quick promotions Great name on your resume (recruiters are constantly calling) Better maternity leave policy than any of its competitors

Cons

Poor work/life balance Used to be work hard, play hard. Now or is just work hard. No training or onboarding Too focused on cost cutting Too much time wasted on internal reporting and building ppt decks instead of executing strategies The company does not care about its employees. The turnover is crazy high.

Pros

As a business undergoing change it’s very in need of new ideas and ways of thinking, so people capable of this and are self starters will thrive. It has all the benefits of a well established business and good career paths, salary pensions. I have seen significant new ways of thinking and the focus on great leadership and training of senior managers is high. Also one thing I love about it is everyone is from different parts of the world. Our interns and all teams get significant responsibility from day 1 with considerable autonomy.

Cons

Not a place for those who want to hide or who lack ambition. People here are positive and have a can do attitude and less forgiving for those who are lacking in these areas. E-commerce and DTC has a high number of women in the teams but the rest of the business could improve on that and is making steps to resolve so good female staff are accelerated and so RB is a good destination from that sense. The Slough office location isn’t ideal but WeWork locations are included for teams who prefer a cooler vibe and the start up environment.
