Relativity Software Engineer reviews

- the interview process should be tougher. hire fast does not equal great talent. don't saturate the talent; - developers shouldn't be doing support (unless they really want to).

I never heard of glassdoor until a few months ago when the whole company was buzzing about it because of our low rating. I didn't get to check out the site until my manager called a meeting "suggesting" that we all go on glassdoor and leave good reviews. I talked to some of my buddies in other departments and it seems to be a company mission to boost the score. I thought about it for awhile and decided that I don't like being bullied into doing something I don't agree with. So here I am, and I'm not going to leave a good review. I don't know about "cult" but there are definitely a lot of fanboys and fangirls here who have pictures of the CEO on their desk and wear kcura clothes every single day. My biggest problem is that it is a company of bullies. One of the hated sales directors who should have nothing to do with devleopment routinely comes in and orders the developers to stop what their doing and build a completely new feature that nobody ever discussed before because some partner asked for it. Nevermind that it doesn't make sense or that it is impossible to do, just do it "or else". And because he is one of the senior employees, he gets his way and we end up missing deadlines or making the product worse. When he's not forcing us to build silly features into the product, he's bullying us around for using Android devices instead of iPhones. It's so immature. The product used to be good but I feel like every new version is a litle worse. The only reasons I stay is because the job market is pretty bad and I really like the other members of my team. Management has to go.
