Pros

Engineering and support staff I dealt with were some of the most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable people ever. The Engineering team can pretty much design anything if they are given management support and the correct tools and information. Hybrid work flexibility 9 day fortnight

Cons

Massively unstable IT system. Engineers shouldn't have to guess when a daily crash is going to happen and lose their work. Very few processes for conducting work. Those that they do have have not been specifically tailored for the Australian market. No responsibility or communication from senior management. They make serious miscalculations in contracts and the rest of the staff have to bear the blame and suffer for the mistakes. Retrench 10% of the Australian workforce just when they need them the most. No clear reasoning for why roles/people were cut, no consultation with mid level managers about what positions were immediately necessary or who were the good workers. Morale has been destroyed, and it wouldn't be surprising if people who weren't retrenched decide to move on anyway due to how badly this has been handled. In which case, they deserve it.

Pros

Rheinmetall Defence Australia has now been operating Australia for the last 10+ years. Despite the loss of the L400-3 project, it is now in time for RDA to step up and bring some structure to the current organisation. There are too many people who have been hired without any idea what they should be doing. The company has great potential, however, senior leadership need to start doing their jobs and forming an organisation!

Cons

Poorly organised organisation and lacking leadership.
