Pros

-- Generous PTO, great insurance, good tech and tech support -- Creative people and unique challenges (esp. since we have a niche field) -- Admirable posturing compared to competitors who tend to be jerks about us, we never stoop to their level -- Forward-thinking leaders, most of which encourage autonomy -- Potential for growth, if your team and trajectory support company goals -- Big focus on real expertise when it comes to knowing our software before working on it, selling it, promoting it, etc.

Cons

-- Uneven work-life balance across teams (some are phenomenal, including mine, but I know people who aren't getting any flexibility and that's really uncool) -- Some growing pains in terms of evolving job role/salary/bonus structuring, etc. (I think it's all normal but it feels like sooo much paperwork compared to what we used to do) -- For a large company, some depts still have really a lot of oversight from executive leaders and there's a lot of pressure not to screw up (even when we're told to be innovative and fail fast) -- Aggressive diversity push that sometimes feels more focused on census tickboxes than truly human qualities and perspectives

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on working at Relativity. I’m happy to hear that you’ve had a very positive experience thus far and value our growth potential. I also really appreciate the candid feedback and advice to management that you’ve shared around work-life balance and inclusion, diversity and belonging (IDB). We are continuously working to ensure that our employees maintain strong work-life balance and recognize that some roles might be more demanding than others. We are working closely with those department leaders and managers to identify thoughtful and customized solutions to ensure that employees can take time off knowing their teams are appropriately enabled to pick up the additional work. I also want to note that we always consider diversity of perspective when we hire new Relativians and promote internally to build our teams, no matter the department. We recognize the importance of building teams that are not only physically diverse (gender, age, ethnicity, etc.), but those that have diverse thinking and can draw on their different life experiences to create unique perspectives that will set up our business for success. We will continue to prioritize hiring those candidates who bring fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. If there’s anything you’d like to bring to my attention or discuss further, please do reach out to me so we can schedule a one-on-one conversation. – 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.
