Pros

Well, I joined close to 10 months, most of the new people are of the same experience. I will be very specific to what should or should not be considered while joining. If suppose I am looking for a job and donot have any, you can join this. If you have great SQL exposure, then also you can join this. The culture from outside is really friendly. It's inside when you work there for a while there is a lot of politics, but the politics is more like a blame game. Do believe the bad reviews, cause it can cost you your career. I am writing this review because joining this organization has been my worst decision ever and I would not want anyone else to suffer this. In Jan 2019: 20+ people layoffs happened from US office. And, they were important people. if you will check most people including higher management, have resigned before 1 year. I am pointing the facts. RSi is a sinking ship. Please take a careful decision while thinking to join it.

Cons

RSi India: is a small office without any cab facilities. They donot provide any laptops and even if you are late like 9-12 pm, no one will be bothered about your safety or commute. ( I am not blaming anyone, that's how it is). Coming to work: RSI is a data related company so, anyone who is thinking they can get work mainly on API, Selenium with Java or Python, please understand every company works according to there business. Most things are manual and automation uses RIDE framework(Read about it instead getting a shock on your first day) Mainly, you will be working on SQL. The end result for many applications are either data loading (without Informatica) or making the correct reports similar to BI reports. If you are alright to work on the same, please go ahead. There is one more con: this is a small organization and your hierarchy will never change. Hence, How many projects you change, if you have trouble with you manager, it will always affect you. One more thing: People have been bullied if they try to leave the organization before 1 yr. Either they are asked to pay 1-2 months salary or serve 3 months. Read your offer letter carefully

Pros

Met many longtime friends while working at Retail Solutions and miss them. Used to be betre. Now at another employer.

Cons

Retail Solutions is full of big bullies and it starts at the VP level been that way for all the years I worked there still exists according to my friends that are still there. Everyone thought the new ceo would fix it but all of the VP's still exist and they just do anything to preserve they job. Some teach others to do it and be bullies to back them up so not rational but like a hairy mad gorila. Was a very hostile place to go to every day to work where you worry about your job or who is going to stab in back next. The ceo came in all employees hoped that problems would be the deminished but ceo promised to make everything better also promised no layoffs then people started to disappering including 2 of my best friends in my life but others are still there, now talking to my friends still there they feel more layoffs are coming then they will know that the ceo is not honest and accountabel. I am just glad I left now at a new company with better salary with much better benefits plus management alway supports you and try to help you be better without games. I am happy to have left and do not recommend to anyone, but wish my friends still there a better career.
