Pros

Perks - snacks/food and beverages Good benefits - insurance and PTO

Cons

Manager determines your future. Very poor management and ‘boys club’. Lots of Kool Aid. Deceitful management and will use one mistake (even if you are new and have had almost no training) as a determinant of your future. Once that happens, no matter what you do, you will be micromanaged and shot down any chance they get. Everyone is out for themselves and upper management has its favorites, so avoid interacting with them...some of those favorites will go out of their way to sabotage and throw you under the bus, but it is OK when they have “hiccups” or “my bads.”

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that you did not have a consistently positive experience during your time at Relativity. Our intent is to nurture a culture of continuous feedback, and we encourage employees to speak openly and honestly with their managers about their development goals and their career aspirations. Our 360 Manager Feedback process enables employees to share their honest and constructive feedback to help managers identify where they can improve to better support their team members. Regarding your observations around the behaviors of our leaders and managers, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment to foster better decision-making and people management across the organization. Further, our approach to hiring is rooted in building diverse talent pipelines—including our leadership recruiting practices. What you outline in your feedback is not the environment we strive to create. I invite and strongly encourage employees to reach out to me or to their HR business partner if they are experiencing challenges in approaching or communicating with their manager so we can work on a resolution together. – Beth Clutterbuck, CHRO

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
