Pros

There are still some talented and well-intentioned individuals who genuinely care about doing good work.

Cons

From my experience, the company has been lacking clear direction for quite some time, especially following the Edenred acquisition. Priorities seem to shift constantly with little explanation, leaving teams unsure what they should actually be working toward. Leadership often seems out of their depth, and decisions frequently feel reactive rather than strategic. This has contributed to losing some very strong people who were core to the company’s culture and capability. Turnover is high, and it shows. Team collaboration has deteriorated significantly. Instead of working together, teams often feel siloed, misaligned, and sometimes even competing with each other. As a result, the focus on the client has slipped, client needs no longer feel like the driving force behind decisions or priorities. The product itself has fallen behind the times. It feels outdated, with recurring faults and limitations that make it hard to deliver the experience customers expect. Investing in modernisation doesn’t seem to be a priority despite ongoing issues. Overall, the culture has shifted from being people and client-centric to feeling corporate, disconnected, and demotivating.

Pros

Before being acquired by EdenRed, RG was a decent company with lower than average salaries but a higher than average focus on benefits and a healthy culture of transparent communication. Doug led with empathy and respect. After he left and Nick Burns became CEO, everything went downhill fast.

Cons

- Tons of layoffs and offshoring labor to cut costs. Leadership openly talked about how roles that were cut or vacated would be left unfilled, with those remaining expected to pick up the slack. - There is almost zero pathway to progression internally. - The product vision is unclear and there is little to no innovation; product is outdated and stale. - Leadership is toxic and does not take accountability for poor decision making. - Honestly everything here was terrible other than my coworkers, who were awesome but so demoralized by the direction of the company that every day left everyone burned out and demotivated. - There's a toxic culture of being expected to put on a happy face and pretend everything is fine, lots of talk of being a family, and then being gaslit by leadership left and right. For being a company with a vision statement of "Appreciation appreciates" (which honestly, what does that even mean lol), you sure will feel not only unappreciated, you'll feel like you're completely dispensable to the company regardless of your performance. And that's because you are completely dispensable.
