Great school but too much short-sighted!

Pros

Since the very first day you are already given autonomy and responsibility. You need to learn things quickly and to establish relationships in order to "survive". Management is open to dialogue and you can raise your hand whenever you feel like!

Cons

The whole company has a very short-term view that often results is tough timings, strong pressure, waste of resources to do things that then result were not needed! HR is basically absent, prepare you package when you arrive and wonder if something is going wrong only when you leave. Performance is not rewarded as it should be. I do not feel meritocracy is really a value here.

Pros

Quick Business Decisions International Mobility Above Avg Salary and Bonus The relatively flat organization and fast paced culture ensures that decisions are made in a timely manner. Doesn't take months to align on simple decisions like it would at larger CPG companies like Procter, Unilever or J&J. Employees are not usually stuck in one function for their entire career....mobility across functions and internationally is possible and encouraged. Bonuses (if you get it) and retirement benefits are some of the best I've seen in my 16 year CPG career. A lot of people on glass door mention that there is no formal training...which is true. But if you wrote on your resume that you have 5-10 years of experience in your discipline....how much training do you need? RB seeks those who already know what they're doing...reducing the need for training. For those just starting out in marketing, if you are a quick learner and willing to learn on the job vs. tons of formal training classes...you'll be fine. If you are more comfortable learning more slowly and prefer constant classes with massive training manuals teaching you step by step, I would suggest working at P&G, General Mills, J&J, etc for a few years, get experience, then come apply to RB.

Cons

Quick Business Decisions Extreme Workload Although making quick business decisions can be deemed positive by getting to market quickly or correcting things quickly....sometimes the fast paced expectation causes rash decisions, expensive errors, re-work and most importantly burnt out employees and high turnover. The culture at RB can be aggressive and intense, so those without a thick skin should not apply. And by aggressive I think most people mean that people are blunt. Sugar coating your reaction to someones comment or idea in a meeting that you don't agree with is not necessary. Being blunt and straight-forward is encouraged and rewarded. In which case it may hurt the feelings of someone who is sensitive. Outside of meetings, the work environment is normal....asking about your weekend plans, watching hilarous youtube videos together, walking over to someone's desk to ask a question, etc. The culture in the household division in Parsippany is aggressive as explained above. But the culture in the food division in Chester is a bit more toned down, nurturing, family business feel, etc.
