Pros

The rank and file employees are nice.

Cons

RS21 claims to be a "values-based" company that cares about its employees and who wants to "do good with data." But they recently laid off a huge chunk of their workforce with ZERO days notice and then offered a pittance of a severance package (way less than the industry standard and what a decent employer would be expected to offer). When it comes down to it, their only true value is their financial bottom line. They just pretend to care. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Supportive environment, RS21 is filled with amazing like minded caring people. Good clients & the diversity of work is definitely a once in a lifetime chance to work on.

Timelines for projects can be rushed due to pressure from the client.

Pros

Flexibility working hours during the day

Cons

I worked at the company for two years, and despite putting in strong technical work, the overall experience was disappointing. I consistently delivered high-quality results, learned new skills specifically for the contracts I supported, and handled my responsibilities professionally. Even with full-time hours, the contractor structure created a sense of instability, lower compensation, and very little job security. What was most difficult was being suddenly let go while actively working on two projects — with no two-week notice and no real explanation. This happened a few months after I came back from my Maternity leave and while my husband was recovering from surgery. The timing and lack of communication felt extremely insensitive and showed very little consideration for my circumstances. I also couldn’t ignore the noticeable lack of diversity within the team. This contributed to a feeling of not fully belonging, and some decisions — including mine — felt inconsistent and unclear. It left me questioning whether employees’ needs and contributions were truly valued.
