      Excellent company to work for with many opportunities to grow, as well as excellent benefits package

      Pros

      During my time at Rio, I felt I was given excellent training and presented with several interesting opportunities and responsibilities. The team I worked for was particularly wonderful to work with and I felt a lot of solidarity was fostered amongst us co-workers. I also felt that the benefits were excellent.

      Cons

      Due partially to the fact that the office was mainly senior management, the office environment was rather stiff and at times overly formal for the most part though not unfriendly.

      Good pay and conditions BUT engineers lack challenging work.

      Pros

      Managers respect workers, clean nice organised place to work pay is not the best nor is it the worst but is very comfortable. Safety is excellent. Can develop good leadership skills especially on some sites The Brand name is prestegious.

      Cons

      Its so stable it is frsutrating to be an electrical engineer. Everything is faultless but I almost fall asleep daily at work. Inovative ideas are not respected and are stamped out and talented people usually board to death. If the following statement agrees with you: "I want to achieve the impossible, and be driven to achieve using skills and inovation to my limits" then RIO may be too repressive as tall poppies are cut down very fast. I get excellent training excellent pay but I am underchallenged so badley I really want to leave . It scares me that one day i will become fat and lazy due to my work environment.

      Pros

      Big comany with lots of opportunties

      Cons

      Failure to set clear priorities means that everyone is trying to work on everything at once and very little real progress is made.
