RINA Reviews

*RINA philosophy is that you should feel honored to work for them. *Benefits and resources available to employees in the US are based on Italian/European law so no real benefit to employees *RINA gives you the bare minimum in benefits or other resources, only what is required by law (Maternity leave of one week was considered generous because it was more than is required) *Not given access or resources needed to be successful *You will be fired unexpectedly without receiving feedback on performance *Top managers in many departments are Expats from out the country that do not know laws or how to manage employees *Respect you receive or how you are treated depends on your title *Lots of illegal practices *Discrimination and clear bias on behalf of managers in hiring process. Prefer non blacks and Italian men, men in general.

Organisation was acquired by RINA and is lacking in professional and experienced management. Great people are leaving, and overall staff turn over is very high, due to low salaries and poor leadership. Fair, ethical, and transparent growth opportunities do not exist for the majority of staff. Employees are extremely under valued and are not compensated for high levels of effort or overtime. Employees lack any real incentives to stay with the company long term. It is extremely difficult to get any kind of pay rise, despite significant changes to job role/responsibilities. There doesn't seem to be any formal method by which to request or put an argument forward for a pay rise. Basic annual pay rises do not occur. And cost of living increases are barely in line with inflation. Staff generally feel very undervalued. Zero/very few progression opportunities. There are no set salary "bands" and people across all genders and levels of seniority are paid completely at random, and very unfairly. There is great reluctance to bring salaries in line with external UK market values, and very little (to zero) consideration of staff input. Integration following acquisition has been a disaster and there is zero trust between staff and upper management/HR. There is little/no confidentiality and upper management/HR is lacking in professionalism and ethical leadership, that staff expect and require from a place of work. Overall, RINA does not offer a positive or flexible work environment and staff have very few (if any) reasons to stay.
