      Pros

      Space for growth in global company. Constant changing environment allows you to work with a diverse group of people.

      Cons

      Leadership has a hard time understanding the how to make major changes happen. The theory is great but operationalizing it is the difficult aspect in such a large company. Another aspect of improvement would be in how we are reviewing our leaders. There are leaders that needs to be more aware of the impact of their decision and actions. If Rio Tinto had a process to enable that feedback in a formal way I think some leaders would gain a lot from it - although I would say this is for a minority.

      The truth about the company

      Pros

      Company benefits from Health care, employee share plans, family benefits, etc etc are all great

      Cons

      You are just a number to them, regardless of how "passionate" you feel about the company, do not be delusional about your value to the company. The time will come when your value are no longer needed for the company. Paperwork will kill you in the long run, to purchase something as simple as springs, it takes at least 3 set of paperwork before they can be ordered. Meetings takes up at least 30 min of each day It is absolutely true about the old saying "it is not what you know it is who you know" if you want to succeed in Rio.
