Pros

Highly regarded firm across North America, great place to start a technical career, get meaningful experience

Cons

Be prepared for long hours. 50-60 hour weeks are an implied expectation, even though technically they operate based on 40-hr weeks. There has been 2 mass exodus of highly talented technical staff. Once in 2014 and one now around 10 years later, due low morale, poor compensation, terrible communication and lack of transparency on the part of management. If you raise an issue with management, they provide lip service but no real solution. The profit-sharing system is designed to help get the old guys rich. Stay away. Share prices have climbed exponentially, which is great for those who have been around for a long time, but makes advancement unaffordable and unattainable for most. And if you're a shareholder and decide to leave, they will punish you by holding back your shares investment and threaten you to sign a legally- questionable non-compete

The wellbeing of all RDH employees is very important to us. Without our people, who are our greatest asset, the things we've achieved to date would not have been possible. We take your honest and transparent feedback seriously and are always actively seeking to improve the way management can better engage, support, and respond to their teams. RDH, like all businesses, will encounter challenges as it grows. Balancing that with culture and operations is a process, but a continual one that we are committed to. We are sorry to hear the issues you raised—whether about communication, project priorities, or others—didn't leave feelings of resolve. It's a priority that workplace challenges like the examples you raised have a process for resolution and that our managers are trained and equipped to facilitate it.
