Pros

Not many any more. Used to have a free lunch daily which was unbelievable. But now has diminished to just Pizza on Fridays.

Cons

Middle management is false. - Feels click-y, and playing favorites. Deceitful. They are full of false promises. There is no cross training, so there is no way you can learn another position. They seek to hire from the outside instead of promoting within. A lot of good honest people have been let go, (60% of engineering staff) plus some from lighting design and some others, leaving the rest to be looking elsewhere for employment, while holding onto a once pretty decent place to work. Everyone here smiles like they are ok with it. That is false too. Moral has drastically hit the dirt.

Pros

As I complete 9 years at RAB Lighting, I can genuinely say the journey has been incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. Like any long-term experience, there have been ups and downs, but the overall trajectory — both for the company and for me personally — has been one of steady growth. RAB truly cares about its people. From promoting a strong work-life balance to offering competitive benefits, the company ensures its employees feel supported and valued. One of the things I’ve appreciated most is how quickly RAB starts to feel like family — warm, welcoming, and collaborative. The culture here is built on openness and mutual respect. There’s always space for honest conversation, and your voice is not just heard but genuinely valued. The collective effort that everyone puts in is inspiring — not out of obligation, but because people care deeply about the work and the company, and that feeling is mutual. I'm proud to be part of a place that invests in its people, believes in growth, and maintains a healthy, respectful work environment. Here’s to many more milestones ahead!

Cons

There are some areas that the management needs to focus on. The company is growing at a very fast pace. Existing systems and processes may struggle to keep up with increased demand, leading to bottlenecks, delays, and work quality issues. While these are some of the challenges that most fast growing businesses would face, things can't be ignored. I hope we can all work together to find a right balance & hopefully we can come up with better solution.
