I've been with RedCloud for just over two months now and have had a very enjoyable time so far. I'm staffed on a project working on an interesting project. So far, I've had nothing but good things to say for RedCloud following through on everything they said they would. Additionally, encouraging ethical and honest business practices which is not the same as every other place I've worked.
Cons
Very high growth company, just hope they don't loose sight of what matters as they grow so fast. Not as much vacation time allotted as previous employers, but not having to accrue it is nice.

I think you've given us a new tag line...the 3 E's: Ethical, Engaged and Energetic. We may use that! We keep saying ethics, what we refer to internally as our corporate moral compass, shouldn't be a market differentiator. Yet it continues to be. We'll keep doing what we're doing and are thankful for you and the rest of our employees extending this mentality and practice everyday with eachother and our clients.
Great pay, interesting/challenging projects, industry leading clients, freedom to handle projects how you see fit (once you prove yourself on a few projects), solid work/life balance, upper management make themselves available often to bounce ideas off of.
Cons
Benefits are lacking (no parental leave for birth of child, insurance is so-so, few days off outside of national holidays)
Opportunity to engage with varied technical setups.
Cons
- Assignments often begin with unclear or incomplete requirements
- Critical details are frequently missing or miscommunicated
- Work has to be redone due to avoidable misunderstandings
- Ongoing rework caused by lack of clear direction
- Expectations shift mid task due to poor initial planning
- Frustration builds from repeated lack of clarity
- Issues stem from direction and communication, not task complexity
