Zero Accountability... - Anonymous employee RED Digital Cinema Employee Review

The president and founder at some point completely took their hands off the wheel and appointed a series of unqualified execs thinking that their consumer technology experience would be relevant in taking their company public. Instead they accomplished a series of terribly structured projects that lead nowhere and killed the companies internal culture in the process. At the heart of this team is a CRO who brought with him a litany of conflicts of interest and carried on a string of incredibly inappropriate office relationships (4 that were widely known of including HR). Ultimately however, it’s the leaders of the organization that ok’d this individual getting all the execs Teslas the same week they laid off a ton of people. It’s the same leaders who stood by and watched him gaslight an entire room full of employees denying one of his relationships and threatened to fire everyone in the room if anyone brought it up (he lives with that individual now). In short, the sheer lack of accountability at the top is rampant and beyond frustrating to watch as an employee. If you’re thinking of working here, know this: team culture has become actively discouraged, HR has and always will be only out to protect the organization rather than its employees- reporting any sort of inappropriate behavior by any higher up will get immediately repeated directly to the individual and you’ll likely get let go, “fire fridays” are very real and have been for years, and ultimately, you’ll never know where you stand in terms of job security. I’ve seen the hardest working, best employees get let go after working there for over 10 years for laughable reasons. You should also know that a majority of the positive reviews on here are fake. HR was asking specific people to write them after seeing how terrible the real ones were- this has even been corroborated by former HR employees who have since left the company.
