Pros

* Get to use a lot of upcoming technologies * The engineers are fun to work with, make some good friendships

Cons

* New CTO literally understands none of our product and makes no attempt to understand it * Turnover is high, engineers quit monthly, all original knowledge of product is practically gone * Communication is horrible, engineers lie too often about what can be done so managers set unreasonable deadlines * People are lied to about job description when brought on * In the between phase of being a start-up and being corporate and no one has any idea how to manage this * CEO does not care about engineers whatsoever * Toxic environment prevents anything from getting done * Code quality is bad * Salary and benefits not worth the environment

Thank you for your review! Since this review has been posted rewardStyle has made great strides in wanting to better the Engineering department and rewardStyle as a whole. We hired a new CTO in June that has drastically changed the direction and culture of the Engineering department to be a more positive working environment. As for salary and benefits we have made significant changes in the last 2 years from offering no benefits to establishing the full spectrum of insurance and retirement plans. For 2015 we increased employer contributions to 50% of the total health premium, offer dental, vision, FSA, Basic Life, Long-term Disability, Short-term Disability, Supplemental life, Teledoc, 401(k) plan, added sick days, and Birthday PTO. We also continue to have Summer hours, free monthly chair massages, breakfast and lunch every week, fully stocked kitchen and bar, fun employee events, and employee discounts with local restaurants and stores near the office. The HR department sends out culture surveys every year seeking feedback from employees on what employees like and what we can do better and continuously strive to make changes and improve our work environment. We have come a long way the last 4 years and we will continue to make rewardStyle a fun and laid back atmosphere where people want to come to work.

Pros

rewardStyle can be a very fun place to work. Amazing people, parties, happy hours.... we know how to socialize. The founders created a remarkable culture.

Cons

As fun as the culture is here, it can also be really depressing at times. 4 engineering managers and 1 product director quit in Q1 2019. One senior leader lost the 3 managers that he started with, and I have to wonder if its due to him hiring his friends as managers? He can talk the talk, but he can't seem to walk the walk. Another senior leader lost both of his directors in Q1. He lost another director in 2018. Some software engineers have quit, too. It sounds like we're hiring contractors now. Around 20 of our software engineers and program managers quit last year. It's depressing to see so many of my friends leave when I know it could have been prevented. We're doing a lot of busy work, writing things that are available in established, well maintained and skillfully coded open source projects. Our architects and VPs seems a tad obtuse, and I've started to wonder if they have personal agendas vs organizational goals. Or if they're just bad at what they do. I'm trying to assume positive intent. The agile coaching spectacle is, well, a spectacle. Like, we're not succeeding because we don't have enough process?
