Rho reviews

Salary is way below industry standards, and within the company there is a huge disparity. Promotions and raises are incredibly hard to come by, they are not transparent and seem to be awarded to those who have some magical 'in' that the rest of us are excluded from. Rho also used to be more lenient with working from home flexibility, but recently have been insisting people come into the office. I had an agreement to work from home a certain number of days a week, and I was asked (told) to come in more frequently. Then when I needed to work from home a little extra for a couple of weeks due to a family issue, I was chewed out for that, where as that used to never be a problem. Due to the flat company structure, sometimes it is really hard to know who to go to for guidance and who you should be providing guidance to.

When first hired a few years back, Rho was still a comparatively smaller company and had that family-friendly feel that they prided themselves on. (People were all very nice and welcoming, company as whole had a more laid-back feel, WFH on occasion was allowed, etc.) Now that they're growing, they've lost that feel and become too stuffy in my opinion. I understand with a larger company you need to set stricter guidelines, but it feels like they're trying too hard to become like a IQVIA or PPD and they've lost that welcoming feel that attracted (and kept) a lot of people to them previously. Now the structure feels very corporate and cliquey and I quickly lost that level of comfort discussing things with my supervisors as I once had. HR also has become a bit stricter and rigid over the years.
