      Toxic workplace

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great benefits, including training budget -Overall fun culture -Great office in a good location

      Cons

      -Overall environment is very toxic and unhealthy. Management loves using the term "feedback" - but feedback is an excuse to treat people like crap and degrade each another on an every day basis. Its a boederline hostile work environment with a fun culture video to cover it up.And HR might as well not even be there because they don't seem to care -Almost half of the executive team has left or been termed since February but its been swept under the rug and glazed over. No one seems to see this as a red flag? -Culture has continuously gotten worse in the last year due to poor leadership on all fronts -ZERO career growth, although the recruiters will advertise otherwise. Don't believe them! You will only grow in this company if you are favored by management or you are a brown noser. If you aren't either of these things, you might as well leave before you even start. -Work/life balance is just a buzzword that is used and the comp isn't enough to make up for the long hours

      Beware of the RCA

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - This company knows how to throw events - Many hard working individuals and sharp talent on the team. - The technology challenge to overcome is interesting and will take talented teams to accomplish the company mission - A feedback driven organization is definitely a positive thing and if you can't handle it...you'll eventually realize it's not healthy for you to avoid feedback that will ultimately improve you - The company is very clear and focused on the mission for the next 2 years and anyone claiming that there isn't a focus is flat out lying. - If you pass the exam, things are mostly fine afterwards

      Cons

      - The RCA exam study process is horrendous. With a ~50% pass rate, be prepared to worry about possibly not having an income for your family in the event that you fail. The company is publicly proud of how hard the exam is to pass. - The training staff for the RCA process is extremely unengaged. They show a lack of overall involvement (attending standup is their best effort) along with frequent mistakes on the SIMPLE task of adding events to your calendar (seriously...it doesn't take much to ensure everyone is on the same page about their schedule).

      Thank you for providing your review – your opinion matters to us. You highlighted a couple of points that we’d like to address. You’re right -- the Relativity Certified Administrator (RCA) exam is difficult. We expect Relativians, who build our software or work closely with customers, to be certified, which is a common practice for software companies. To clarify, the 2017 pass rate for Relativians was over 90%, and we give individuals multiple opportunities to take the test. Those, required to be certified, are informed about the RCA exam in their offer letters and are able to spend their first paid four weeks on the job studying for the test. Again, thank you for your review and raising important questions for us to focus on as we continue to enhance our certification programs for Relativians and our community of users.

      A culture-obsessed company with a poor culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's best suited for recent graduates or people who have no prior work experience. They offer an attractive benefits package, and it's a good option for people who want their personal and work life to strongly intersect. You're virtually required to hang out with your co-workers after work, on weekends and at social events if you want to have a career here. That's a positive for some people, but a major negative for others.

      Cons

      What others have said here is true. The company is run like a cult. It's one thing to have company values, but it's another when they put the values on your keycard, in your cubicle, in the kitchen, and in all of the lounge walls. My team is forced every few months to get together and talk about how we have used kCura's core values to enhance our personal lives. And you better have a good story! The biggest problem with kCura's obsession with core values is that they use it as a threat more often than as encouragement. Simply voicing concerns can sometimes be enough to be told that you're not adhering to core values. Worse yet, management has an extremely myopic view of right and wrong. A great example was when I overheard one of the sales directors arguing on the phone with a customer. He said with a straight face "we aren't arrogant. In fact, we're ridiculously humble. We pride ourselves on our humility! I will send you our core values to prove to you how wrong you are!"
