RETTEW reviews

Until recently it felt like they really thought through the plans for the company, they have 1 year, 3 year and 5 year plans. But now they are switching from mostly remote work to a hybrid work model and it feels like it wasn't thought out very well. Moral is at an all time low, people have already left the company and others are looking for work elsewhere. We had some townhall meetings about this recently and the people who made this decision weren't even there to answer questions, instead they sent someone else to be the punching bag and he didn't have answers to most of the questions people asked. I saw the other comments people wrote on here and the company response that says: "Our decision to implement a structured hybrid schedule comes from a forward-looking strategy focused on ensuring the long-term health and success of our company. The objective is to cultivate a more collaborative and integrated environment. We believe that facilitating more frequent in-person engagement is essential for nurturing our culture, fostering spontaneous innovation, and supporting the professional growth and mentorship of our team members. This is an intentional step toward building a more connected and resilient future for RETTEW" That is just is just a word salad of corporate jargon that doesn't mean anything. They gave reasons in the townhall meeting as to why they are making this change, but they feel hollow and just like an excuse to justify their decision. It is like the return to office is a solution looking for a problem to solve. They haven't laid out practical steps as to how returning to the office is supposed to help. They are just hoping that it will work, that people won't leave the company and that we won't lose clients because we can't get their work done when we lose the people who were working on their projects. What is the real reason? Probably to be able to stand behind us plebs and crack the whip to make us work harder and faster and to give us the stink eye if they see us having a non-work related conversation.

The company needs to make major improvements in the way employees are treated and handled. Benefits are not up to the industry standard (no sick days, very limited PTO, health insurance is lacking) and overall morale at the company is never great. The satellite offices suffer the most. There a total lack of cohesion between the corporate office and the satellite offices. And usually a void between management and their underlings. Lots of complaints about management, which largely go ignored.
