The most valuable part of my MBA experience was the diversity and quality of the student body.  Not only did all of my fellow students bring a variety of career experiences and lessons to every new class discussion and project, but they also shared unique perspectives on life due to the vast range of their ages, nationalities, and cultural roots.

globalcommunityAs an extreme extrovert and creative idea generator, there could be nothing better to me than the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of people.  During my job search, I remember specifically looking for career opportunities that would be an extension of what I had loved so much in my graduate studies.  My RB experience thus far has truly exceeded my hopes and expectations.

Since Day 1 here, I have had the chance to work with professionals from all over the world.  The RB Team is comparable to a mini “League of Nations.”  Take our Lysol brand team, for example.  Our team members hail from India, Canada, China, South America, Australia, and every corner of the US.  Additionally, they have a range of experience in different functional areas and leadership roles which they’ve brought with them from prior jobs at other companies.

By being challenged to look at issues through different perspectives, you become a more effective contributor, a stronger leader, and a more creative and strategic problem solver.

I definitely encourage anyone interested in such a career opportunity at RB to check out the “Are We Right for You?” section.  I also encourage you to keep reading our MyRBOpportunity blog, for I don’t think you can get any closer to a company than to learn firsthand about the daily working experience from the members of its team.
