Redstamp Agency Reviews

Redstamp as a company is that emotionally abusive, narcissist ex you wish you never dated. They are all talk - kind and inviting, even endearing at first, but the more you get to know this company the more you see the ugly mess underneath. Either they don’t know what they are doing or they do and they are incredibly calculated and manipulative. Either way, it’s not a good place to be. Management’s word doesn’t mean anything. No follow through, and constantly changing goal posts then gaslighting you when you bring it up. Lots of nice ideas that don’t come to fruition. They will take from you whatever they can and keep trying to sweet talk you while secretly trying to undercut you. The big new office is more full of furniture than staff because of high turnover. They seem to be wasting money on things like big screen TVs that sit unused and top of the line desks that are mostly empty. Very top heavy. More upper management than needed and they are all white dudes despite the company’s supposed equitable ideals. This is not LGBTQ safe space, despite what they say. A lot of the team have less than accepting attitudes. Again, it’s all talk. Redstamp was one of the most disappointing, ethically dubious, and frustrating places I have ever worked. Avoid unless you are a workaholic, like being underpaid, or appreciate being undervalued.

- High employee turnover. This company is a toxic sinking ship and people are fleeing fast, at least a dozen so far in 2019 (several in the last month alone), which is a big deal for such a small company. - The CEO is completely oblivious and thinks he's doing a great job and delivering, but in reality he flips on a dime and his word means very little; promises made one day and reneged on the next. Gas-lighting abounds; Passive aggressive is the temperament du jour. - Team pay raises get announced at "all hands"/general meetings, then they get pushed back by several months and in some cases reneged on. Most colleagues that I've spoken to about the situation are massively underpaid and actively looking for work elsewhere. - Redstamp is incredibly top heavy, more managers than there is work to manage. - More money has been wasted on unused equipment and office TVs (that I expect will continue to sit in boxes for months to come) than on training and promised pay raises. - There is lots of talk about equity and transparency, but it's just talk, no follow through. - No overtime pay - Below average benefits - Very few sick days. - Burnout rate amongst employees is extremely high due to high expectations while at the same time being underpaid and under-appreciated.
