Pros

The people doing the work, on the ground, hands on working to get a product out.

Cons

- Things turned south when the new CTO was hired. Inexperienced for a CTO level role. - 4 layoffs to date including a mass layoff of roughly 30% of workforce - C Suite continuous calling employees D level talent - Allowing the CEO to make changes at a drop of a dime to direction of tech without consulting technical leaders responsible for getting work done - C Suite plays favorites, those they like get better benefits - Benefits are awful. No coverage for dependents, you pay 100% out of pocket which costs thousands. - Lost series C because they couldn’t land contracts

Pros

- Worked with some of the best and brightest people I have ever worked with in my career - No longer working with erratic, incapable, out of touch senior leadership

Cons

-Red 6 does not have a product and blames the people that do the actual work then hires additional overpaid unqualified senior leadership to come in and “fix the problem” AKA berate and publicly shame people that are working countless hours for them -Engineers earned a bonus for work done in 2025 but only actually got half of it this year due to leadership’s poor decision making -They encourage transparency and for Engineers to “speak up” if something is not right, but if you do that make sure you pack up your stuff afterwards because they will turn around and fire you immediately -Dog friendly office, but only if you’re the CEO’s dog -Do you like snacks? Too bad, they don’t have pretzel money anymore
