Pros
- The people working there are great. Bright, responsible, fun & personable. - Good location. Office is bright & open, convenient for travel. - Supportive. RS can help you with education and let you try things you haven't done before, you just need to ask and make a good case for it. - Free snacks & coffee, a small gym, saunas, computer purchase plan and healthy living benefits.
Cons
- Salary. You will be paid less than other places. that's just how they operate. - Growing pains. A formerly small company really struggling to grow up, flips back-and-forth between marketing itself as a successful small business or an up-and-coming corporation. - Management. Very large disconnect between your average employee and company management. Made worse by the obscene imbalance of responsibilities granted to PMs which occupy the spot of middle management in a "flat company" - Priorities. It is normal to have clients get away with much more than is average in client work, especially new clients. Management will take care of the client first, their own people second. Projects have started & completed before a Statement of Work or Acceptance Criteria have been signed. But the office has a slide!
