Pros

- Fully remote can be well-suited for some (e.g. parents) - Some managers were kind and upkept good work-life balance

Cons

- Unrealistic workloads on many teams - 0 training provided - C-suite couldn't be more slimy. They preach positivity while the company does worse and worse. - Layoffs are regular, leading to fear and valued senior staff leaving - Daily gossip and in-fighting, especially between sales and account execution teams - Waste haulers (who are KEY to Rubicon's business model) don't want to work with Rubicon because of chronic late payments - Tech provided (e.g. software) didn't work from day one, with no IT department to help troubleshoot - Key software was outdated and slowed down basic tasks

Pros

No one knows what is going on, so no one can blame you for anything. Even though benefits are decent - healthcare handcuffs and remote work - wages are low and competent employees are fleeing when they find any other job, leaving lower level employees with 4+ different bosses in a 2 year timespan.

Cons

"New" leadership continues to lay off women and employees of color, while bringing in/promoting unqualified Good Ol' Boys (and Girls) from their old jobs, and the CEO threw a tantrum when this was called out via Glassdoor. Zero job security, racism, communication silos, and leaving All Hands just flabbergasted that the CEO says what he says are all common experiences. No one knows what is going on and turnover is seemingly high, so process improvement is nearly impossible since there is no one to ask for help. Longtime employees were all let go or quit. Higher ups pretend to be so busy that they can't even respond to emails, while the actual busy people are expected to respond within hours. Leadership still doesn't have a clue what half of the company does.
