Pros

Very professional, hardworking people in my department; enjoyed working with them for the brief time that I did. Benefits included 401K match

Cons

Relias seems to like buying companies and acquiring content, only to jettison most of the people from the acquired company and not seeming to have a plan for the purchased content. Bought the company I worked for and a few months later instituted a significant layoff

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. Yes, we were in an acquisition mode, however, only until 2018. Since 2020 we have focused on organic growth and are super excited about what is to come!

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

You have kind co-workers and good benefits.

Cons

The strategic direction is unclear for many parts of the business. There is not enough transparency around hiring decisions - including who is still with the company and where there are opportunities for growth.
