Pros

Good place to get experience

Cons

The lack of diversity in leadership, the low salaries for employees who have demonstrated hard work and loyalty to the organization are some of the terrible things about Relias. Any employee that has been with the organization and made significant contributions to the company, and received multiple promotions should not be making a crap salary. That should be an embarrassment our leaders who then make jokes at company-wide meetings about how much they are earning as executives... while driving Ferarri's and Teslas.

Relias Response

This reviewer has described a culture that is not how the majority of Relians see and live it every day. Relias is a fast-paced, challenging and fun environment. We pay and insure our employees. We contribute to 401(k)s. We also pay our employees commensurate with their level of experience, area of expertise, and performance at Relias. We are working hard as a leadership team to build a culture that aligns with our mission, supports women and diversity, recognizes strong performance, and ensures our employees have a healthy work-life balance in addition to a competitive total compensation package. This reviewer also mentioned Relias’ lack of diversity at the leadership levels. We value diversity and are actively trying to increase it within all levels of the organization. We are consistently showing 50% women at each level in the organization, with the exception of the executive team (i.e., 2 of 9 are women). We are very excited about our move to a more central location in the Triangle, which will enable us to pull from more diverse areas in our recruiting efforts. There are many exciting things to come in the future for Relias!

Pros

Amazing corporate culture Leadership listened to engineering on tools, technology stack, etc Actual product ownership, including necessary input and control (instead of being told you own a product and then not given the necessary access or tools to maintain it)

Cons

Hiring process involved psychological screening with a lot of implicit bias, almost like an IQ test. On the plus side, I've been told they discontinued its use after that was pointed out.

Pros

Some of the peers met.

Cons

You have to be a "yes" person. It is not about your productivity or tenure. The organization celebrates the money-makers. They romanticize a false sense of community. They celebrate the coffee shop with a zombie like fixation. It doesn't detract from the underlying problems of management being out of touch with employees. Their inability to read the room has been present for a while. They failed to see during Covid that it takes more than food, drink and "community" when the fact of the matter was that it only showed lack of trust in their employees. Team meetings consist of a manager who is incapable of reigning in meetings that devolve into nonsense and wasted time. Obvious bias exists as there are clear favorites on the team, and their ideas are more readily accepted and heard. Comments as to appearance lead to obvious preference and isolation of other team members. Now that DEI is thing of the past and everyone is trying to navigate it smoothly, Relias proceeds to post the whitest President’s Club photo ever. It’s completely tone-deaf. They continue to make decisions that may seem to make sense at the top but have no relevance or need when it comes to employees.
