Pros

Some very capable and accomplished people to work with.

Cons

This is a very small company - 10 employees. Glen Ko (CEO) is limited and not the smartest person in the room. He is very insecure and becomes verbally abusive when he does not understand a given theory/topic/stance. If this company was of any size, the board/PE investors/etc. would remove him immediately. The only people that last are hired just out of graduate school and have had the worst experiences pursuing their PhD. They have no basis to judge what is acceptable. Once hired, say goodbye to creativity and collaborative pursuits.

Pros

Flexible schedule and some accomplished co-workers

Cons

Glen Ko is unprofessional and one of the most obtuse and abusive of CEO's. He will focus for days on a simple draft email and while he has no comprehension of basic grammar and syntax will berate a given individual over simple sentence structure. When he does not understand a given theme/concept, he becomes argumentative and belligerent. OCD rules at RES. The turnover rate is ridiculous for such a small company. People either leave in disgust or are forced out because they ask to be treated fairly. Quite a few clients pick up on this dysfunction and is testament to the lack of growth. The few people that are able to work in this type of environment simply have few options and do their best to adapt.
