Pros

- Tight engineering culture if you want to be involved - Impactful point in company's life - transition from monolith/on-prem to distributed/cloud - Company has adapted to growth fairly well internally - If you can keep your job there, Relativity is pretty well positioned in the market

Cons

- Recent layoffs & exec resignations indicated change in how the company is doing business - morale is very low - Transition to cloud has been painful, and work still being half-done makes it doubly annoying - Relativity will be hitched to a stack unsuited for the cloud works for at least a few more years (.NET Framework & Windows)

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.
