Pros

You can be successful in RQ as long as you can work harder than all the overworked people here. Good luck. The company has gotten many generous investments totaling in the hundreds of millions! I'm not sure if you'll ever see a cent of that going into your paycheck though.

Cons

Our CEO has stated that he doesn't care about Glassdoor reviews and prefers that you provide any honest feedback to his face. The last time an employee followed his advice, they got fired soon afterwards. You can work 90 hours a week and management won't view that as a problem even if you complain about it. If anything, they will brag about your suffering to the entire work force and persuade others that working extremely hard is the norm here. Rather than addressing the company-wide issue of employee burnout and turnover, they instead hired a mental conditioner with zero experience in cybersecurity to "fix" the issue. You can't "fix" overworked employees. And when I say overworked I mean 80 to 90 hours a week on a salary pay. Any bonuses or raises you get will NEVER amount to what they'd owe you if overtime pay was a thing here. RQ has lost their grip on employee mental health if they ever even had a grip to begin with. I've lost count of how many delivery managers I've seen over the years crying during their lunch. The company will probably continue ramping up recruiting and "mental conditioning" before they ever focus on making their employees happy or healthy. Let me repeat that for the RQ folks in the back of the room who are too overworked to hear this. RQ chose to hire a MENTAL CONDITIONER to try and fix workplace morale. All it did was allow a guy to stroke the CEO's ego on a daily basis and get paid for it.

Pros

Free food Friday and competitive salary

Cons

High turnover, horrible work life balance and no remote work. We were forced back into the office 6 months ago during the peak of a pandemic. Manager are also put in place that have no buisness being managers.

Pros

Great teammates, motivated people, lots of little perks, middle management genuinely cares and tend to fight for you. You'll learn a lot.

Cons

Upper management totally out of touch. When people are pleading to be able to spend more time with our families, we're told we should feel honored to have the privilege to work on such an awesome product. Constantly shifting priorities. Pushed to the absolute limit at all times. Constant back to back P1 issues. Pay is below industry average and you don't even get equity, and they've been resistant at every chance to offer it. Guess the CEO needs another boat or something, instead of paying his devs working 60-70hr weeks properly. Look on job sites, you'll see swarms of people all leaving within the past few months. It's not a coincidence. Trust your gut.

If you are in a situation that you are pleading to spend more time with your family, it needs to be escalated immediately. Our values do not align with that behavior.
