Pros
RS has always been a company that is invested in its people. They have never been afraid to throw money and training at a gap in capability. Big believers in work/life balance, not always reflected in workload, but they are ethically in the right place. Great community spirit at RS, work and play together.
Cons
The projects they embark on can be knee jerk, or poorly sighted. Frequently hampered by a board of directors more occupied with share holder happiness rather than what is good for the business. There is a tendency towards micro management recently. Over emphasis on data science. Relationships are being sacrificed for commercial aggression. This is a result of Top down forecasting, based on crystal ball gazing, and making promises to shareholders, and the city, that they aren't in a position to fulfil.
