Employees at RYCO Hydraulics appreciate the good work environment with understanding colleagues, as well as the opportunities provided and the potential for fast promotion with good performance. The salary is seen as a positive aspect, and some reviewers value the work/life balance. However, there are potential challenges such as a learning curve for new engineering projects, the company operating seven days a week which can lead to tiredness, a poor working environment in some cases with people shouting, frequent machine breakdowns, poor processes and documentation, and high performance expectations.
