Redwood Trust – “Redwood is a great place to work but change is in the air.”

Pros

George Bull and his senior management team has made Redwood Trust a great company to work for because they value their people. The culture is very distinct and to succeed, you'll need to work hard, adapt, and fit in. Employees are valued and developed with regular coaching and training. There are plenty of activities organized by employees to get to know each other.

Cons

Building relationships with key people means success. None means you're stuck or you're out. It's just the way things work. Life's not fair and that's reality.

Advice to Senior Management

Not all people are qualified to be managers. They may be great at their jobs but coaching and developing people may not be their strength. Subordinates suffer because of that. Managers will continue to need training to improve their skills.
