Pros

There are lots of + about RBW. The team is talented and fabulous, from the shop floor and ops to sales & customer support. My direct boss is a great listener and advocate for our team. We have a great product. The office and factory is a dream. Their sustainability story is the best in the industry, and you can stand behind it. The ownership structure recently changed, and one of the partners left; it seems to have strengthened the team. The departing owner seemed to have checked out a while ago, and the company is better off without the dead weight.

Cons

RBW is growing, which leads to change; some see change as painful but nothing out of the ordinary.

We could not agree more that our team is truly an incredible one across all areas and we’re glad to have you here! With almost 3 years in our new-to-us Factory and headquarters, we are proud of the space we have created and continue to refine. As one of the first certified B Corporations in the lighting space, sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do - from packaging, to energy consumption, our generated waste, to our materials - and we’re glad you feel the same way. We’re excited to grow with you and keep creating atmosphere together! Thank you for your feedback. Warmly, Christine

Pros

RBW is an exceptional workplace, primarily because of the friendly and supportive environment. Every team member, from production to sales support, is a pleasure to work with. Moreover, the compensation and benefits are significantly higher than average, and the company prioritizes work-life balance. The management team genuinely cares about the employees and offers regular training to foster leadership skills, although some guidance on people management may be necessary. The HR team is a valuable partner, and they take care of even the smallest issues in the workplace. Recently, RBW has implemented technological improvements that make daily tasks much more manageable. My supervisor was an excellent listener and an advocate for our team. The product is superb, and the sustainability story behind it is the best in the industry, making it easy to support. Overall, working with RBW has been an incredibly enjoyable experience.

Cons

Growing pains, but nothing out of the ordinary. Onboarding could use A LOT of work so many platforms to learn! RBW really really cares about clients and will help solve problems and always put clients first, but some solutions are quick fixes and would be great to have lasting solutions for frequent client problems.
