Pros
Individual contributors and middle managers (those that are left) are great to work with/for. Unlimited PTO. Decent healthcare with HSA contributions. Good 401k matching. You can work from home one day a week after 1 year of tenure (unless you work in sales, and they are probably going to take this away for other departments soon). Standing desks. They usually favor internal promotions (but also favor eliminating the positions to which individuals were promoted).
Cons
"Streamlining" efforts in February 2019 removed a level of management and essentially demoted many middle managers in order to cut costs. This left director-level and senior managers with at least 3-4x the number of direct reports, plus at least twice the level of responsibility. This was deeply unfair to the higher-level managers, the individual contributors who now had less attentive bosses, and particularly the middle managers who got set back in their career for something that was not their fault. The idea of someone managing 10+ people, plus having senior-level responsibilities and being spread too thin is woefully outdated and has been proven to be unsuccessful in terms of employee retention for years. This is just one way that Relias demonstrates that they want to be "a 1%er," and be a top-tier company, but they are so far removed from what their employees want and their product needs that they cannot accomplish their goals, let alone meet their bookings and revenue goals quarter over quarter. The CEO, Jim T, is a micromanager - when the company is financially not performing well, his solution is to have more people reporting directly to him, rather than actually hiring people he can trust to do the job that he hired them for. Decisions about the product are made not just without consulting senior-level product managers, but often without even telling them. Chief HR Officer Tina Krebs is also the embodiment of the outdated human resources leader who seems to dislike all humans and is completely unapproachable.
