In recent years, RB has achieved a lot of success within our industry.

We have the same proud heritage, but now we're able to better cater for our very diverse consumer needs.

RB people and its culture are at the heart of the company's success. They have an intensive drive for achievement and a desire to outperform wherever they focus, including sustainability where the company is targeting a 1/3 reduction in water impact, 1/3 reduction in carbon and to have 1/3 of its net revenue coming from more sustainable products by 2020.

Reviews
I feel that I have significantly more responsibility and independence than I would as a graduate in a similar role in the industry.

Pros and cons of working at RB AU
Pros
Real responsibility from day 1 High level of exposure across functions of the business and senior management team Challenging work that allows for creative problem-solving.
The culture: My company is very fast-paced but supportive. Everyone knows how to work incredibly hard, but they also know how to play even harder.
You get ownership of a large brand portfolio, and have the ability to make big decisions for your brand's marketing strategy and then see the rewards/benefits of those decisions pay off!
Constantly motivated and challenged; Learn something new every day; More responsibility than any other company; Opportunities to present to the Leadership team.
Being in control of my day, my job and my destiny.
Cons
Steep learning curve initially.
The Hours - The nature of the business means that you are working relatively long hours, but the office is a fun place to be so time doesn't drag.
Being in control means there's no one else to blame when things go wrong.
Very Demanding - long hours and high pressure.
Co-ordination of different functions.
