Pros

They hire smart people who then leave or are forced out for having an opinion

Cons

Terrible Leadership. Mafia-like culture. Nothing they say in their vision statement is true. Directors and up all kiss the ring and some of the words they speak border in insanity. They routinely run good people off. If you disagree, point out some of ridiculous policies, or have a sense of urgency Rain Bird will get rid of you.

Thank you for your three years at Rain Bird. And, thank you for recognizing that we hire really smart people! Despite what you say, these smart people do stay with Rain Bird %E2%80%93 in fact we have a retention rate far above industry norms.And, we are smart enough to let our employees have a large degree of autonomy in how they meet their goals. Most of our employees thrive in this environment, but others cannot make the adjustment. We wish you the very best in your new direction.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
