Pros

I started many years ago as an entry-level employee. Immediately, I was treated as family. I had an innate nature to keep my head down and do what was expected of me and more. That type of work ethic helped me grow in responsibilities, salary and position after putting in my time to learn the business and the market we engage. Hard work and passion for learning are highly valued at Rivel. New ideas are encouraged and access to senior management is always welcome.

Cons

The nature of the business we conduct is mostly project based, so there are months of the year when we are extremely busy. Naturally, this can be frustrating and overwhelming. Sometimes you have work a bit on vacation or on a day off, but again, that is the nature of the business.

Pros

- Work-life balance is generally respected. - Most people are lovely, at least to your face. - Respectable client list.

Cons

- The culture is hollow. It's mostly talk with little to no follow-through. - The company entered a tailspin with cascading problems after the Covid bump peaked. Unrealistic growth expectations lead to over-hiring and subsequently several rounds of layoffs. - Management re-orgs the company about every 9 months, creating confusion while shuffling responsibilities/expectations. - New initiatives of questionable value are quickly introduced and soon forgotten or ignored. - The upper management group has been there for many years and is far too comfortable with itself. Poor outcomes are attributed to direct reports. - Most of the most talented individuals recognize the dog and pony show and move on for better opportunities/salaries elsewhere.
