Pros

I'm pretty surprised by some of the negative reviews. This was my first development job and it was a super nurturing and positive environment, I was there for about a year and a half. I worked with a lot of the same team on just a handful of projects, but I never saw any of the backstabbing, yelling, or drama that's mentioned in some recent reviews. All of the PM's I personally worked with, and those I didn't, seemed professional most of the time. Was given a lot of room to grow and professionally develop, but had to be a self-starter about it. I felt the atmosphere encouraged you to ask not just for equipment but opportunities to learn or work on different projects.

Cons

With a little perspective and time, I do agree there were some voices within the organization that were able to speak a little louder and did sometimes become a bottleneck. I also felt like sometimes timelines were a little bit overwhelming, and you could find yourself scrambling to meet deadlines that ended up not ultimately mattering. Sometimes the philosophy and attempts to improve process seemed to be a little overwhelming. At a certain point it felt like we should stop developing the process and implement it (although process improvements were overall positive and welcomed). Lastly there sometimes could have been some more clear and consistent communication across teams/employees (tracking lunch was something I remember being like a 40/60 split of people that did or didn't actually track it as tracked time (unbillable), and even when it was officially addressed it seemed to be a little muddled).

Pros

I have had a really good experience here. People actually care and treat each other with respect. You can bring up ideas or concerns and you will get heard, which is not something you find everywhere. The team is smart, down to earth, and easy to work with. It is definitely fast paced and that is not for everyone. You are expected to behave like an adult, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your work. Nobody is going to babysit you, but you are also not left hanging. If you like taking responsibility and working with people who respect each other, RTS Labs is a solid place to be.

Cons

Sometimes there are too many changes in tech choices, and we miss the chance to lock in a stable process
