Growing Pains with Management; Hopeful for Change
Pros
Nice people to work with, workplace operations does a great job keeping employees happy in the office with bountiful snacks and drinks.
Cons
Change in management, ambiguous work, and weak sense of ownership over projects makes RigUp a challenging place to be. Fortunately, they hire for people who are willing to go with the ebb and flow. On the flip side, it makes it difficult when you have a good idea what your skills are, but you don't have the opportunity to use them because management needs you to prioritize projects they didn't even know they had to take on before other previously discussed opportunities. They also expect excellence, but new hires and current employees need more support for the unique industry. It's taken months for management to agree on simplified processes, and people are having a hard time adjusting. I've heard whispers of leaving if things don't change soon. In my position, there seems to be little career growth trajectory until basic systems are set up leaving me little room to work on tasks I've communicated interest in, which would not be a problem if it was communicated better. Lastly, RigUp has experienced hyper growth in the last few months, meaning even management doesn't seem to have an idea what to do.
