Pros

hahaha ha haha hahaha ha

Cons

A culture of paranoia and uncertainty; no one is secure in their role. Once an innovator, now dysfunctional and bureaucratic, Rain Bird struggles to deliver growth and breakthrough innovations, opting instead to copy existing technology, still failing to deliver. Contrary to the words of management (there are no leaders at Rain Bird), mediocrity is expected, it is dangerous to take risks, drive innovation, or suggest a change. The owner and his group of henchmen all display limited cognitive ability, running the company like it is 1977. If you choose to ignore the vast number of warnings and join the company, prepare yourself for a slow disintegration of your joy and confidence. Extremely high turnover in all of the manufacturing plants keeps an inept quality department busy and full of self-gratification, rarely solving problems promptly, usually blaming the customer. The birds' wings were clipped many years ago; do not join this failing joke of a company.

Pros

They gave me a job when I was looking for work. Best day? The day I walked out on my own terms and never looked back. Like all bad jobs you can recover from this vomitous pool of fecal matter.

Cons

Extremely high turnover. Sink or swim mentality. Lack of integrity. Some of the most arrogant, narcissistic, ignorant and incompetent sob's you will ever work for. DO NOT TAKE A JOB WITH RAIN BIRD.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a good work life balance here.

Cons

As other reviewers have mentioned, there's a culture of fear here. Fear is used here as a misguided approach for motivating the team. You will be ignored - your years of programming experience mean nothing. Development and design standards were very poor. The loudest most aggressive person wins. Pace of development is extremely slow and we were often under tasked or not tasked at all.
