I'll be frank, I would not recommend working here at this time. - I Worked In the PaaS Operations Incident, Problem, & Change Management Space Relativity Employee Review

First, you should be aware that, for most positions, you have to take and pass the RelativityOne certification test as a requirement of employment. As a new hire, they give you your first three weeks to study on your own and with other new hires. If you don't pass, they fire you and walk you out on the spot when you get your failed test results. I saw this happen to more that just a few of my co-new hires when I started. So be prepared to be back out looking for another job. Second, the building office space is dark because it is in an old small building living in the shadows of much bigger buildings. The courtyard space extends from the ground all the way to the top floors. This makes each floor a rectangular doughnut. So to get from one side of a floor to the other side, one has to go all the way around the building. This is very inefficient. The also makes the floor space cramped. The desks are back to back and practically on top of each other. Third (The rest of this review are my opinions which is based on my experience working here) I'll be frank, from my experience I would not recommend working here. In my first couple of months of working here, it became apparent that the company culture has a very "cult" like environment and professionally immature from the top down. People got thrown under the bus a lot, including myself. It was my perception and through confirmation in conversations with my peers, that the company has high turn over rate. One example, when I started I was told that I was the third person to attempt to hold my position in the past year. I worked there for eight months before I quit. I also experienced that there's no real work/life balance. The company became my life since I perceived that I was expected to work all the time. The operations, release and development groups, with which I worked, were all very stressed out. The perceived expectation is to work long hours, though this was not verbalized. I'm talking 12 to 14 hour days at times. There's also an unnecessarily short release cycle which led to a lot of incidents, caused a firefighting mentality in the teams and a lot development rework. This release cycle is something imposed by the CEO/founder. In my opinion, they are not the "Chicago SalesForce" that they think they are, nor are they like other PaaS companies. For example, the Relativity PaaS has a very small niche in the legal workflow software space.
