Rio Tinto reviews

First of all, dont trust HR. They are there to protect the company, they say they will keep your comments off the record but after meeting they change their mind and use that information against you. I couldnt figure out how is rewarding is done and I have been there for 4-5 years. Dont trust your supervisor. If you are more talented than him/her, she/he will use your ideas, reward you poorly and never promote your talent. No diversity (number of women, black, asian employees are very few). For example, we work on MLK day. The morale is very poor now. I am planning to leave and wont even look back. If you are out of college, young, talented guy/gal, go somewhere else. And dont think that you may work your way to another subsidary, there is no exchange programs. Rio Tinto Minerals is a tiniest part of Rio Tinto and it looks like it will not be for long. Profits are decreasing. They are loosing market share in both products (talc and borates).

Promotions are based on favoritism, very white Anglo-American culture, no growth opportunities whatsover, no diversity, no creativity, no room for innovation so if you try to bring something new get ready for strong criticism. you know what just don't come here.
