Rio Tinto reviews

- Australian company pretending to be global, but run by Perth boys that have very little understanding of Africa, Latin America, etc. so they make terrible acquisitions and hire (and only listen to) people just like themselves and then scapegoat the outsider, non-Australians when things go wrong - lets internal politics cloud judgement and strategy; - a lot of lip service on diversity but there is no real management buy-in or monitoring, incentivizing of an open-minded culture and breadth of views -the more senior person wins even if they were the ones that were behind huge mistakes such as Alcan acquisition.

Micro managed. They tend to hire inexperienced people for upper management roles.They have very little experience in these particular roles and the rotation of this upper management is like a revolving door. No one stays too long in these roles long enough to make a difference, so staff loose interest in their grand ideas when they move into these positions. "Flavour of the month" is the best way to describe it.
