Very Little Chance of Advancement, Favoritism

Pros

Decent starting salary, fellow employees are extremely smart and talented in what they do and most are willing to help you whenever you need it. Our clients are amazing to work with and we tackle really interesting projects.

Cons

Constant false promises regarding promotions and raises; if you do not have a Masters degree or higher you are not looked at with the same respect by senior management even if your position doesn't require it. There is no work life balance and only those who kill themselves working long hours are rewarded. Senior management tries to take on too many project for as small as the company is, leading to burn out and resentment among the employees who actually have to do the work. The company's mission is confusing and despite numerous meetings regarding it, no one will be able to give you the same answer about what Ripple does, not even senior leadership. The CFO is constantly pushing people out if they do not agree with her stance and is extremely critical and will change her story to avoid looking like she is in the wrong. There is a reason all the best and brightest talent at the company is leaving.
