Avantages

The engineering group includes individuals that are some of the most talented, intelligent, and fun people to work with and are able to produce results under a lot of pressure.

Inconvénients

As previously stated, the CEO is definitely one of the most difficult people to work for (and he will spend a great deal of time ensuring that you know you work FOR him and never WITH him). Being that it is a smaller company, the executive team seems to operate under the notion that they'll be a Fortune 500 company soon enough and tries to operate as such. Big business models don't work for small businesses, and it's evident in lack of growth in projects and dwindling list of clientele. Also as previously stated, the AJI Network is (now, but not always) a voluntary opportunity for professional networking, the culture embedded at RBC resulting from what was "taught" at these very expensive semi-annual to quarterly "conferences" in California have not furthered any growth opportunities for the rest of the company, but only for those employees (mostly the executives) that are "strongly encouraged" to join per the CEO's request. It's not fair, and most of what they teach is often what can be found in a typical graduate-level business administration class (but for 4 times the cost). The wage gap is apparent not only between the executive team and other groups within the company, but even between men and women doing the same job. It was an incredibly difficult and awkward environment to work in, and a lot of changes need to be made internally.

You are correct, we have a fantastic team of engineers! As an employee for RBC myself, I have not found the CEO to be difficult to work for. He is engaged in the status and results of projects, as would be expected of a CEO, but is open to dialogue with the employees. When addressing the big business models referenced in your comment; the company nearly doubled in size in less than two years and as the employee base becomes larger, it becomes necessary to establish procedures to maintain consistency, as we continue to acquire new projects. Wages are evaluated every year and are based on comparable salaries for similar positions. Although there are several factors that go into determining an employee's wage, gender is not one of them.

Avantages

Lots of young, energetic local talent. A good place to start and get a little experience for recent college grads not ready to leave home.

Inconvénients

Don't trust the job description. Regardless of what the job description says, new engineers are brought in to do the tedious documentation for a handful of insiders with seniority. Hired engineers should expect to be forced into nontechnical roles of verification testing or design transfer. The moment you show any resistance to this, you'll promptly be shown the door. Typical employee retention is less than two years, the precise amount of time it takes one to fully realize their situation and find another job. Management team and project managers are very inexperienced, with many pretenders who try to fake it with overconfidence. Due to their insecurity, management team deliberately isolates and excludes anyone who knows more than they do, rather than take advantage of the experience to improve processes. As a consequence, nothing ever gets better. The development process is invariably chaotic and inefficient. Overly confident management thinks they can manipulate employees with Machiavellian shenanigans, but these schemes are transparent.
