CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's brand recognition gives its sales personnel an advantage over other competitors

Cons

Like water, it all trickles down from the top...and the water quality ain't so good up there (Yes, a shot at TL and senior management) these days. As a highly profitable and privately held company, one would think that money would be intelligently reinvested to continue Rain Bird's proud history of innovation. However, the irrigation king has become the laughing stock of the irrigation industry (golf, ag, turf).

opportunity and good people, but if you don't fit in the culture be careful.

Engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

opportunity for a challenge, pay, quality of people, stable work enviroment. Willingness to spend money when justified.

Cons

Too much turnover and constently changing directions. Life is about cost reduction...little true development. Always second best in the market...seems like we are always chasing after the competition. Limited marketing and quality support. Be prepared to travel to Mexico often. May not have engineering in US in the future.
