Great Entry Level Job, Questionable Salaries, Family Oriented
Pros
*The projects we do are awesome *Sabbatical every 7 years of working at Redland *The company events are fun, especially if you're into drinking alcohol *Large open personal desk spaces, in a "quad" like format *Nerf guns at work *Family oriented *Great Entry Level Job *Extremely generous bonuses to the PMs. *Reading and community service for personal growth is included in our associates bonus structure *Cultural events and competitions for instance, BBQs, chili cook off, ice cream making contest, pumpkin carving, quad halloween decorating to name a few.
Cons
*Lack of presence of upper management at cultural events, or community days. *Feels very "boys club." They promote the employees who hunt, fish, talk crypto, sports, and make more time for those employees. *Lack of time made for any associates to communicate with upper management about actual HR issues (Pre having HR), and have watched the company promote the perpetual offenders or "let things slide" *Base salaries are extremely questionable. I've seen people underpaid for years because theyre too afraid to talk salary. Or I've seen associates getting another job offer from a competing company and bring it to management. *Can be a loud office environment with various associates in meetings at different times, nerf dart wars, dog/kid visits, music coming out of people's computers etc. But also theres a stigma if you wear both air pods or ears of headphones to drown out the sound. *Lack of private areas for personal meetings with our expanding teams. Harder to mentor and learn, and not everyone wants to be in an open environment *Used to have yearly appraisals but that hasn't happened this year (2025), and no communication as to why *Theres no work anniversary celebrations except for your sabbatical. Even a handshake and a thank you goes a long way * The amount of alcohol promoted at company events (if you're not into drinking alcohol) *Boundarys get set, but constantly forgetten and overlooked, making it harder and harder to advocate for yourself each time.
