Riverty Reviews

*Low morale. * Overworking is expected. Burnout is acknowledged and dismissed. * Roles are heavily misrepresented during the interview phase; one may never end up working on the product they applied and interviewed to work on. * 80’s style management privileged over modern leadership (sink or swim attitude with strategically leveraged “positive” and “negative” feedback instead of consistent, constructive dialog or input). * Little thought leadership in Product to learn from; e.g. building company “value” at client’s detriment (not just expense) is rewarded with bonuses. For multiple products or services there is no documented strategy or goals. * Management personnel are candid that colleagues with more traumatizing migration stories are more likely to tolerate poor working conditions at Riverty and “succeed.” * HR diligently closes multiple positions when a team hires one person. Under-hiring across the company precipitates hostile interactions between teams as colleagues protect artificially limited resources. * Dismal onboarding; some canned videos but no structure, little material. No documentation for most products/services. * Gossiping is normalized (1:1 or platform-wide). Senior people share deeply personal details about colleagues unprompted, make inappropriate suggestions about neurodivergence, aptitude, and more. * It was clarified - with HR endorsement - that 1 person should fill 3 roles in one team (i.e. perform equivalent 120 hrs of work per week). * At best “Diversity and Inclusion” is shameless self-promotion without substance, at worst it is dangerously exploitative.

Managerial Challenges: Like any organization, we do encounter some challenges with certain managers. I believe that open communication and empathy can help address any issues and foster better working relationships. Complex Team Structure: The team structure can sometimes be intricate, making it challenging to navigate. Simplifying the organization could improve collaboration and streamline processes, allowing us to work together even more seamlessly. Job Security Concerns: I understand that the company operates in a dynamic environment, but occasional concerns about job security can cause some unease. I hope for transparent communication about changes and decisions to help alleviate these worries.
