Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Ripple Effect always welcomes constructive feedback and values all of our employees' outlooks and contributions. We are committed to providing a positive work environment and a sense of balance for all Ripplers, with policies designed to maintain a work-life balance between employees' commitments to their job, family, self, and community. We understand that Ripple Effect's projects can be demanding, which is why we collaborate with employees to achieve this balance by meticulously planning project timelines, identifying backups and contingency plans, and communicating frequently with team members and supervisors. While it is ultimately the employee's responsibility to maintain a work-life balance that works for them, we strive to minimize stress and increase workplace productivity by encouraging employees to schedule time off, vacations, and personal time away from work. While we regret that this was not your experience, we appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts, as Ripple Effect is always open to feedback in order to continuously improve.

Pros

Growth: If you want to expand your skillset and try something new within the company, upper management is incredibly supportive. They hear your feedback and act upon it, if it's within their power. Quality: Ripple really cares about giving clients quality work. We went through many layers of copy edits and checks to ensure that whatever we put out, big or small, was top notch. Communication: I was always comfortable going to my manager with any issues I had. We also had standing check-ins weekly where we had productive, two-way conversations. Work-life balance: I really enjoyed the flexible hours, the option to telework, and the fun, after hours events such as happy hour, trivia, etc. People: I met a lot of wonderful people who are passionate about what they do.

Cons

I sometimes felt quite limited by the number of hours I had to complete a project. However, this is the nature of government contracting. If I felt like I was going to run out of hours, I communicated with my supervisor and she always did her best to give me more time.

Looks good from the outside, but a mess on the inside.

Pros

The pay is good and the work is challenging.

Cons

The turnaround time on projects was not reasonable, training was insufficient, and seasoned employees were condescending toward new team members, especially toward contract workers.
