Thank you very much for your review. It’s wonderful to hear all the positives you’ve experienced being a part of rf IDEAS. The employee experience and development remains top priorities for management, so we’re pleased this is felt and recognized by you. We’re also very proud of our two new facilities that we moved into earlier this year and are glad to know that the upgraded amenities are adding to your experience with us. Thank you also for providing your feedback regarding our operating procedures. We are diligently working towards improvement in this area with the help of our Process & Procedures committee and hope you begin to see some improvement in the near future.

Pros

* Experienced staff- provides accommodating environment for individuals in mid to late stage of career looking to apply their skills in solving new problems. For talented individuals just starting out in their careers, working with this team can provide great opportunity to learn from seasoned staff. * Thinking outside the box - seems to be an openness to consider solutions and tools (within reason) outside of what is currently used to solve a problem. *Opportunities for self-improvement- through LinkedIn Learning, seminars addressing Physical and Financial Health * Location- just moved to new location near Woodfield Mall in a high-rise with several cool amenities. * Creative work arrangements - management has been considerate of personal schedule needs, allowing Covid concessions , potential for partial work from home schedule. *Work-Life Balance *Impressive Benefits - Health Insurance, Holiday/PTO, 401K+Match, Stock

Cons

* Sometimes working with small teams comes with a lack of structure or defined process. There is some of that at rf IDEAS but it seems that efforts are being made to correct this.
