Pros

Nice and intelligent people who are enthusiastic about their work. Interesting subject matter and lots of opportunities to work in multi-discipline groups. Global in nature with dynamic markets.

Cons

Senior level management within Rio Tinto PLC seem to have no idea what RTM does but they are learning, slowly. The organizational structure of the business units make for sluggish ability to change and adapt to market conditions. This also effects the ability to upgrade essential databases and software, communicate across business groups, collaborate across borders, and recruit much needed talent. The Upper upper level management have made bad decisions that have negatively affected the more profitable arms of the business, hindering growth and profitability.

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.
