Great atmosphere. Plenty of good people working in RB.

Too many grey areas in terms of responsibilities between departments which causes frustration and disappointment among people.

Pros

The fast-pace of decision-making, the focus on the bottom line, short-term thinking and strategic outlook. International mobility is great if you're willing to relocate to markets other than North America. (Beware though that you get localized after two-years - often resulting in a lower income than what you're getting paid in the US). RB is a very Sales driven organization - expect to spend a lot of time learning and doing what the Sales guys want to do. Unlike the other tier 1 CPG companies that are very consumer focused, RB will give you significant exposure to this area.

Cons

The whole company operates on the mantra of "speed over perfection", which ultimately leads to rushed decisions that are made with either sub-standard analysis, poor information or under-the-gun thinking. There's also a tendency to push for more than what people can deliver in the name of overachieving but this unfortunately results in many good colleagues burning out quickly. No attention is paid to people-development. You own your own career and the managers could care less if you're being properly trained or groomed for your next position.

Great company to experience the craziness of FMCG

Pros

Great company atmosphere with international colleagues and informal culture. Fast-paced environment with a lot of opportunities and entrepreneurial spirit throughout the company.

Cons

Shortage of workforce resulting in employees having to simultaneously deal with a lot of projects and lack of procedure enforcement. Oftentimes employees do as they wish in the spirit of entrepreneurship and bypass company procedures (e.g. getting approval from certain departments for budgeting etc.). High emphasis on costs to drive growth (long-term effects?)
