Very unenjoyable

Pros

- Talent team does an excellent job bringing in top tier talent. - Coworkers are all very smart and personable. - Lots of freedom, so you can learn and grow quickly

Cons

- No respect for your time or privacy. Be prepared to need to be available 24/7. God forbid you want to take a vacation without getting messaged, called, texted constantly. - Lack of direction. You will have your manager changed dozens of times if you stay here long enough. Everything is last minute. Other people break things and it falls back on you. The most direction you will get is an email saying this project/task needs to be done ASAP. - Turnover is astronomically high for such a small company. AT LEAST two terminations/resignations a week. When the director of HR leaves your company after 3 months, you know something is wrong. - Very bad working environment. Everything is cobbled together at an apartment complex (no joke, two-bedroom apartments are literally turned into “offices”). IKEA desks, Craigslist chairs. Everyone is crammed into these tiny apartments. You move around a lot. You definitely don’t have a traditional desk. And be prepared to provide your own equipment. They will not give you a computer.

Confused most of the time

Pros

some really good people that work here. gaining solid experience on how to deal with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats.

Cons

Our management is confused. pretty blurry structuring. also confusing companies... resprop. atx acquisitions. getdone. rex. launches. investres....for being around for so long, i'd like to see things cleaned up a bit. Somedays I am reporting to one guy, others it's another guy. no real clarity or reasoning. Micromanaged more than I expected, and more than I have experienced in my 15 years working professionally. Looking over our shoulders daily, and update reports and meetings. a bit much for the stage we are in imho.

Thanks - appreciate your thoughts on pros/cons. Certainly understand your frustration with multiple reporting changes, and hope that has settled down for you. Good suggestion for us to clarify and better communicate what the different companies are - and how they work together.

Pros

We’ll pay you... eventually! No but seriously we own property across the country and have large bank accounts. We promise!

Cons

Do you enjoy huge egos, exploitative leadership, and social Darwinism?? Rex might be the perfect fit for you! Let’s walk through your future career at Rex! Onboarding: while sending hundreds of canned LinkedIn messages is a top priority having an actual interview process is NOT. We expect you to “demonstrate initiative” by coordinating all your own interviewers! Part of the challenge is figuring out who wont ghost you for more “important meetings,” respect prevents us from achieving our highest value of “speed at any cost.” pro tip: We “refresh” our recruiting team weekly so be sure you keep your eyes on the LinkedIn page to know who’s made the cut this week! Your first day: remember the olden days where companies provided equipment to their employees, not us! We let you spend your own money on those! Laptops, chairs, functional internet, and access credentials are our first test of your true grit. We believe the strongest players can overcome all obstacles! Be prepared to beg, borrow, and steal your way to success!! Your first week: Collaboration is dead, long live survival of the fittest! We believe in everyone for themselves! We’ll have you onboard the manager who’ll eventually undermine your accomplishments, sabotage your achievements, and inevitably replace you with someone more exploitable! Weekly check-ins: Remember those pesky performance reviews! We do things differently! We lie to your face at weekly check-in’s. We want only the best and know that the highest performers will succeed under any adverse condition. Your last day: after having worked 3 weeks straight of 14 hour day’s with little sleep. You’ll receive “the call,” this is our final opportunity to demonstrate our true values. We’ll inform you of your graduation into the ranks of our numerous accomplished alumni, which we affectionately to refer to as “Rex-exers” Rex wants you! So if your lack of any integrity resonates with these values we can’t wait for you to “invent the future” with us by elevating your humanity! You may be the final straw we’ve been needing to finally collapse our entire house of cards! Talk soon!
