Red Ventures reviews

-The compensation is terrible. You can work just about anywhere else and receive at least 30% more. - Overall the leadership is not trustworthy and that starts from the top. - The DEI efforts are performative and dangerous. The DEI team is not properly trained and they do not know what they are doing. They were all internal moves and they are in their roles because leadership knows they can control them. - Psychological safety is talked about from Ric and the rest of the senior leaders but its a load of BS. I have been in meetings where I saw leaders belittling people, screaming, and throwing/kicking things when they were frustrated. Many people are scared to speak up because if they do they are blacklisted. - The HRBP turn over is concerning since they are supposed to be leading company culture. Them leaving says a lot about leadership at RV. - Performance reviews are also BS. They are not equitable at all. They also say they are 'transparent' but they are NOT. - Tenure is very important to RV. They like to do things the 'good ol RV way'... its problematic and creates a 'Us vs. Them' feeling. - Just stay FAR away unless you want your happiness, confidence, and wellbeing impacted.

- massive structural disorganization from a product, engineering and design standpoint leading to constant infighting and territorial behaviors - combo of engineering team being spread very thin and a very high level of technical debt (without biz investment to pay it off), leading to a constant need for "outage support”, resulting in to little work life balance for leadership and engineers - Engineering being forced to balance competing priorities from different teams that do not communicate with one another, and a product team that does not want to be involved nor triage order of said priorities - No roadmap definition nor pipeline, therefore every task is “urgent”, every deadline is “now” and every feature’s list of requirements has zero depth of functional requirements while also being extremely intricate from a business goal standpoint, resulting in complex feature sets that require constant rework based on “feel” or the whims of the biz team - Tech teams are an afterthought to The Points Guy, rarely recognized by leadership for their contributions and dedication - Very low pay compared to market - No support during times of burnout - No mentorship or training - Feedback goes nowhere; all above feedback was provided continuously with little to no impetus to change or acknowledgement
