Pros

Grown-up benefits in a small company. Four weeks vacation for all, whether it’s your first year or 30th, all are entitled to 4 weeks vacation. Free lunch every Friday on the company and it’s not your standard pizza. We have a diverse employee population and each week an employee name is drawn to coordinate lunch and decide what we are having.

Cons

So much to do, so there is great opportunity to jump-in and add value in multiple areas. The President and managers are always open to suggestions on how to improve or even just new ways of doing things. I noticed other feedback, and unfortunately RBR was not the right place for all. In general, I have observed that if you are competent and confident, you have great professional success at RBR.

Pros

Company culture of continuous improvement and professionalism. All of our tools are modern and efficient. Great branding and a sense of pride in the product and company's reputation. Headquarters is in Ottawa, but there are other global offices and remote working is supported very well. As someone who considers myself a professional in my field, it is great to work with others who hold high expectations of themselves and recognize great work.

Cons

Very few cons. It's an engineering and product development company, and the spirit of optimization and innovation is carried into the company culture. Feedback is encouraged, and problems are expected to be fixed and/or improved. You need to be open-minded and willing to do your job better as you grow with the company. I'm excited to be at RBR and would recommend it to others.

Pros

RBR is a great company to work for, regardless if you're based in the main office or remote. There is a strong sense of family and a strong expectation to contribute. There is a high level of integrity and positive morals here.

Cons

The rapid growth of a small business means things operate at a fast pace and with constant change in search of better efficiency and/or process automation. This combined with the highly technical aspect of the products, might be a bit much for some to keep up with.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Responding to these, especially when they are personal criticism of me, isn't always fun - but I and the entire team are always trying to improve. The team is indeed a strong one, and your contribution to that is appreciated. I hope that our 2020 employee appreciation awards will help us all nominate those around us going above and beyond!
