Pros

- Remote work (although seems it is shifting, depending on role) - There are a lot of very knowledgeable people at this company that know a lot about their Investor Relations; you can learn a lot. - Great portfolio of clients.

Cons

- While leaders can have a full understanding of IR, some lack key leadership skills, as they have never lead a team in the past. - CEO can be very easily influenced by management. - No diversity in company, people come from very similar backgrounds. Diversity is VERY lacking, take a look at their website and look at their team pictures. - GuideLign division goes through far too many management and employee changes, their team for this service is so inconsistent - consistently having restructures in that team, resulting in a lack of the quality of service and knowledge. -

The Company I've Been Looking For

Pros

When I started at Rivel, I raved about it to my family and friends. I felt so welcomed by all the employees, first by my reception on the first day, then by their earnest interest in my growth—both personal and career-oriented—and then by the day-to-day support. Since then, my enthusiasm for the company and my role in it has not dimmed. I still rave about my job to friends and family whenever asked. There is another review below mine that talks about how “when you’re here, you’re family.” This is something that many companies will say as a marketable selling point of their office environment, but Rivel is the only one I have yet seen that truly walks the walk—the culture here is the real deal. There are employees who have been here for 8, 10, 14, 19 years, and it’s easy to see why. At Rivel, I finally see my life past a 5-year plan. I see myself in a career that carries me forward, and this is in large part due to Rivel’s interest in job growth and upward mobility. In my short time here, there have been no fewer than 5 internal promotions, and it is made clear that, if you think your current position isn’t a perfect fit, you are free to move around within the company until you find a position where your skills can be optimally used. The people at Rivel care about each other. Beyond culture, the benefits are good, compensation is competitive, telecommuting is available for those who live relatively far away, there is a large PTO bank rather than time off broken down by vacation/sick/personal (which means you don’t have to fake illness to use sick time), and the company is growing exponentially, creating many exciting opportunities for job growth for those who work hard and are enthusiastic about Rivel’s upward trajectory. I’m happy to be part of the team, and I am looking forward to the future.

Pros

Family run business that treats its employees like ... family! We work very hard, but do also enjoy each other's company. We don't have a stiff corporate culture like other places I've worked at. It's challenging work, but fun and interesting at the same time. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement for those that apply themselves and make the effort to learn outside their core talents. We reward well-rounded employees, not those that simply do their job and go home. Management is constantly strategizing on ways to grow the business, meaning a new idea may spur opportunities for employees to grow in their positions with new responsibilities. The areas we focus on allow for all employees to work with some of the largest companies in the world, some in interesting sectors with fascinating businesses. I actually look forward to coming to work (most days), what an interesting concept.

Cons

No place is going to be perfect, and with Rivel it's really the location. I've always said that and will continue to unless we or I move. Areas surrounding Westport are not exactly affordable, making the commute less than ideal. But it's worth it at the end of the day.
