Pros

Fast-growing company, well-funded, and beating out its competitors. Lots of opportunities to grow up in the ranks if you're willing to put in extra work. Provides good standard employee benefits

Cons

Employees are seen as a resource. A lot is expected of you, but not reciprocated the other way around. Getting a promotion is a long uphill walk. Periodic 24/7 oncall support is required. There are better companies out there

Thank you for your feedback on working at Relativity. I’m glad to hear that you’ve been able to take advantage of our benefits and have had opportunities to grow your career. I appreciate your feedback on how you feel employees are valued at Relativity. We strive to be a Talent First organization and we never want employees to feel undervalued. Regarding promotions, Relativity has an established process in place that accounts for the individual employee’s performance and contributions as well as holistic feedback from their manager and other colleagues across the business. We are always evaluating how to improve on our processes to ensure that strong performance is recognized and rewarded appropriately. Over the last few years, we have increased our hiring, particularly in departments like service delivery and engineering, to ensure that teams have the right amount of coverage for their work so they can ensure a healthier work-life balance. While we do have teams that provide overnight or weekend support, those employees are aware of this time requirement upon receiving their job offer. Work-life balance is important to us and we want to ensure that employees, no matter their role, can take advantage. We have a global Discretionary Time Off policy so that all employees can benefit from unlimited time off. Additionally, we have two week-long company closures, over the summer and winter holiday, to ensure our employees have time to recharge. Thank you again for sharing your feedback. – Beth Clutterbuck, CHRO at Relativity

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.
