Pros

Employer covered healthcare insurance for employees.

Cons

I wanted to love this company so much. The CEO is a great salesman, selling the idea for the tech, but no real product. There was a massive hiring push January 2026, only for there to be surprise layoffs and then a massive layoff May 2026. There is absolutely no communication between the C-Suite and employees on the ground. Even senior VPs were left out of the communication of the C-Suite. Members of the C-Suite (during all-hands) would encourage employees to voice concerns and speak up about issues or challenges, however, those individuals who did speak up found themselves without a job a few weeks later. Per public information, Red 6 just received more financial backing from yet another VC company. My opinion is that with the limited source of funding, and the recent massive layoffs in May, it makes one wonder just how long the company will be around. With the recent round of layoffs, it is rumored the expectation from the newly appointed President is that employees work longer hours to make up for lost people and time. Employees now wonder if Red 6 is getting ready to sell the company. In terms of benefits, while the healthcare was covered for employees, it wasn’t for family members, which proved to be an expensive proposition. Additionally, Red 6 does not match any 401k contributions. This tidbit of information was kept from me during the interview process, even when questioned about it.

Pros

- Worked with some of the best and brightest people I have ever worked with in my career - No longer working with erratic, incapable, out of touch senior leadership

Cons

-Red 6 does not have a product and blames the people that do the actual work then hires additional overpaid unqualified senior leadership to come in and “fix the problem” AKA berate and publicly shame people that are working countless hours for them -Engineers earned a bonus for work done in 2025 but only actually got half of it this year due to leadership’s poor decision making -They encourage transparency and for Engineers to “speak up” if something is not right, but if you do that make sure you pack up your stuff afterwards because they will turn around and fire you immediately -Dog friendly office, but only if you’re the CEO’s dog -Do you like snacks? Too bad, they don’t have pretzel money anymore
