Resident reviews

There are some major challenges that come with working for such a fast-paced company. Rather than make a laundry list of all the bad I will address a few things that can be a deterrent for those who are not ready for it. 1. This is a growth-based company. That means no matter what your role is it will be measured by data and performance. Unlike other companies, you won't just have a job and a title because other tech companies have them. You earn your role here which can be very challenging for some. 2. Performance>Brand. Along with the first, this can also be a deterrent for some. The company is focused on performance and that means sometimes building a brand can take the back burner in terms of focus. This can be challenging for anyone working in a creative role from a traditional company. 3. Its a startup. If you have never worked for a startup your in for a wild ride. Startups are hard, you have to take lots of ownership around your role and responsibilities and if the company takes a hit some times that means your job will take a hit.

Utterly abysmal upper-level management with zero direction in sight. An absolutely atrocious HR department, whom even had the nerve to post "current" Glassdoor photos months after half the people pictured were downsized. Just one example of the dizzying degree of spinelessness offered on a regular basis. Resident has gone through multi-round, quarterly mass lay-offs en route to a last chance, hail mary effort for a hypothetical fire sale. They incentivize people with vaguely written annual bonuses, which are never actually paid out. A "scrappy start-up mentality" doesn't equate to regularly laying off high performers, solely to prop up their bottom line within investor decks. The company preaches "family values," yet practices the complete opposite. Project management objectives changed on a weekly, near daily basis. Resident has one successful brand (Nectar), and the rest fell completely flat on their faces.
