Pros

Benefits, competitive salary, attractive office space.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for deadlines, overwhelming amount of work at times. Additionally, co-owner of the company Amber's hardcore right wing political views and faintly racist ideology creates an uncomfortable working environment for me and a few others who have quietly expressed their discomfort to me. On a superficial level, she seems fine and as nice as the owner of a company can be, but if you looks closely, you will see that barely any minorities are represented at the company, so it does appear that rS has discriminatory hiring practices, which is unsurprising given Amber's support of racist ideology.

Thank you for taking your time to write this review. I am happy to hear that our salaries and expanded benefits are a strength - these are both areas we have invested in over the last few years based on feedback from you and your colleagues. However, I am sorry that you feel the many perks and benefits of working at rewardStyle may not currently be balancing the hard work we all put in together to be successful. rewardStyle believes in openness and encourages any employee to speak to management about their concerns. Please let us know how we can make rewardStyle a better place for everyone. As you know, I consider each and every employee at rewardStyle part of #rsTheFamily. Diversity is very important to us, and I am saddened that you feel otherwise. The many backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, languages and personalities of our employees is where all the innovative ideas, that have been so critical to our success, have come from. Thank you again for taking the time to share your opinion so that we can better ensure all employees feel valued and appreciated.

Pros

They provided a good benefits package, I'd say slightly above industry standard. The co-workers were by and large great to work with. They have a lot of social events and parties to try and build a sense of community and team spirit and mostly it works.

Cons

The number one con during my time at rewardStyle was that deadlines were incredibly unrealistic and resulted in substandard products or products that couldn't be released at all. Ultimately that meant a higher stress work environment, faster burn out and an overall feeling of frustration. I'm not sure if that's a flaw in senior engineering management or simply a power imbalance where product and business completely overpower the technical expertise needed to accurately assess deliverable time frame but it's there. Aside from that the salary was a little below market rates, and I talked to a number of employees about it so that was a consensus opinion. Additionally people would go more than a year without any pay raise. This affected morale and was a silly thing to allow as even if the employees were not performing in an excellent way they're either contributing well enough to earn something more based on company growth (which it was) or cost of living or they're stuck in status quo land and need a kick in the pants. And lastly, tech debt tech debt tech debt. There was soooooo much tech debt that was created by having to do things the dirty way and soooooo much that was obviously created before me from, I can only imagine, similar situations, that touching anything was a gamble with disaster.
