Pros

- Flexible work environment - Work/life balance is decent

Cons

- Little to no feedback, even when asked - “Fun” and “close” culture is a joke. The employees, at every single level, are extremely exclusive - making it almost impossible to build a real relationship with anyone - There were lay offs and furloughs due to COVID-19 and not one person from Riveron reached out to check in. This speaks volumes of the type of people that work here - 401k match is not competitive whatsoever - Falsely sold on the culture and type of work I would be doing by the recruiting team. All of it was a lie to get me in the door - You will rarely do meaningful work

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. We are glad you found the work environment flexible. While Riveron was prepared for changing markets, nothing could prepare us for the sudden impact of COVID-19. Throughout this challenging time, our MD’s and business development team strived to bring in dynamic and challenging work for our consultants. Culture remains top of mind for our leadership team. If you have specific feedback in regards to culture, especially as we navigate working remotely, we welcome a conversation.

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
