The RealReal Software Developer reviews

Found it was difficult to change teams/positions to find the role I was most interested in once there, and it ended up being easier for me to just change jobs. Tech stack isn’t that innovative, and at least when I was there, there was a lot of tech debt that was just “ignored”. Much of the code base is a 10 year old RoR monolith.

Multiple waves of firings alternating between contractors and full-time employees which has reached over 20% of both. The company is hiring for positions while it is laying off at the same time it is recruiting and it is killing moral. The criteria for lay-offs aren't clear as many employees have laid off shortly before their vesting period (11 months). Nearly no HR or recruiters have been let go, but at the same time more and more employees are being let go. The average tenure is short, working here is like russian roulette.
