Pros

I don't know. Is there? They pay on time.

Cons

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work at a company speed-running its own demise, welcome to Rubicon. Management here could write the playbook on how to tank a business, run off every good employee, shred morale, and somehow still act surprised when the stock price drops to literal pennies (last I checked, $0.0002). Inspiring. Here’s the kicker: Rubicon has never made a single penny of positive EBITDA in its entire history. Not once. So how do they survive? Easy, apparent political connections that help secure loans while employees are tossed aside wave after wave. The new CEO struts around claiming they’ll finally “make it,” but refuses to make those plans public. Sure. I’ll believe it when I see it. Working here feels like being on a sinking ship where the captains are drilling holes in the hull on purpose. Waves of layoffs, “strategic” churn, and zero transparency create an atmosphere of pure instability. Benefits? Nonexistent. PTO? More like “Pretend Time Off,” because you’ll either be guilted into working anyway or met with eye rolls when you submit a request. Respect for employees? That concept doesn’t even exist here. If stress, instability, and disrespect are your dream job perks, then by all means, Rubicon is paradise. For everyone else: run for the hills and don’t look back.

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.
