Pros
If it's travel and experiencing varying cultures, meeting new people and enjoying a beautiful industry that is both competitive and rewarding then Rain Bird is a great. The Management I have had experience with have always been respectful to me & supportive. Providing targets are achieved, guidelines are maintained and cultural respect is shown you are left to carry out your business with an autonomous style of management. Compensation is good. A Senior Manager said from the start Rain Bird will challenge you and they do, so if you enjoy a challenge then great, join the team, if you don't like hard work stay away. The company has provided me & continues to offer many training opportunities, allowed me to grow professionally and personally and if it's progression you are looking for, again Rain Bird is a good company. Having always admired Rain Bird as an industry leader I'm proud to be in the position I am today.
Cons
R&D process could be quicker. Email communications are excessive and at times unnecessary and over bearing. Personally I enjoy the travel but Travel + meeting expectation on delivering reports can be a challenge but in my opinion work life & balance is a skill perfected by the individual, not necessarily fault of the company.
