Pros

If you can land on a good team, you can learn a lot and build lasting relationships.

Cons

Multiple years' of poor decisions by the executive team have led to a degradation of the company culture. The recent return to office mandate, with zero metrics to track or supporting data given on the benefits they'll have, are exacerbating the issues. Additionally, upper management has effectively completely stopped listening to feedback which goes against their world view. The CEO has openly stated that he doesn't care about data which contradicts what he's hearing from other CEOs about the benefits of remove work vs. in-office work.

Pros

The other engineers at the company are some of the best that I've worked with. Engaging, very smart, and fun to work with

Cons

Upper leadership doesn't have an issue with abusive management. A coworker and I were working on a project that was delayed (despite continually asking our manager for assistance), and our manager decided that the appropriate course of action was to pull us into a side room and shout at us for 15 minutes. I reported this to HR, nothing happened, and he was promoted to Director within 6 months. Management doesn't care about you as an individual, and they don't care how you're treated - they just care that Features Get Delivered. Stay far away.

Pros

Relativity truly is a leader in the industry. There are parts of the company that run well and have strong leaders. I'm confident that we're in a better place now with some leadership gone.

Cons

The company was being led by some objectively terrible people, and leaders in the C suite that just left. They would openly play favorites with low performing people in the Security org, and their "confidently wrong" mindset was hindering growth, that's why they got pushed out. I think there are a lot of terrible managers in Security that just realized their bully CSO can't save them anymore. The Poland teams are openly sexist and racist against anyone who isn't Polish and their leadership doesn't care, I suspect because they tacitly support it. There's a strong us vs. them mentality that comes through in all forms of work. The AI side of the house is all show, no go. Their purported "AI" leader just likes to regurgitate others' words. He literally has no idea of the computing and tech behind it, but he'll promote himself as some AI visionary when in reality he's just a snake oil salesman. Oh and their pay is terrible by market standards, despite the flowery, smug responses the CHRO gives. She's never been in real tech, just some worthless startup from the UK, so she's not speaking from experience.
