Pros
- ability to move between clients if your manager is on your side - sabbatical after 5 years
Cons
When I say complete lack of WLB, I mean it, weekend work was continuous. There were also no clear working hours with teams expecting you to be online minimum from 8-7/8 (this is not considered crazy at all). I feel badly for my more junior staff members who have it worse. Also, the amount of admin work needed within this agency is absolutely insane. Another side note is that billability is not just a focus, it is the sole way leadership communicates with staff — a regular email reminding the company to remain billable (and increase at that). At this point I left a little bit ago (under 6 months) but have heard from colleagues it has only gotten worse. If you’re considering this agency, please carefully weigh pros and cons and try to find people who worked at RC and left to ensure you have the full picture. I’ve seen too many people crash and burn there!
