Pros

They offer benefits but they were expensive. They have unlimited PTO if you are not so over-extended that you can take time off.

Cons

Taken over by callous private equity then culture just went straight down the drain. Once folks raises/bonuses were withheld, the good Senior talent started leaving. Their Microsoft sales offerings were always messy but without Senior talent, it became a toxic nightmare. Engineer were over-extended and their work trivialized. I've worked with several tech delivery organizations with none of the condescending "two-click" Sales issues at Red River. So much finger-pointing and negativity between many of the teams. They just have the wrong people in leadership roles.

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative perception of your time with Red River. We know that the fast growth we are experiencing, and movement within teams can come with growing pains. We never want this to affect our teams negatively, and are working to cultivate a positive company culture. We are also working hard to promote from within and hire new talent to ensure that teams have the resources they need. We understand that work can be very fast paced and busy, but want our team members to be able to take time off when needed. In regards to your comment about compensation, bonuses and raises were delayed slightly, but were given out later in the year. We understand that communication between teams can be difficult at times. We encourage all team members, managers or not, to come to the HR team if they have any concerns or comments on items like this. If you would like to provide our HR team with any other feedback, we would encourage you to contact us at HR@redriver.com. We would like to discuss further.

Pros

Awesome management, excellent work life balance and high expectations. Absolutely LOVED my role here, my team and my boss. They expect a lot and will treat you right if you are a hard worker and honest employee.

Cons

I resigned after a change in CSuite leadership (CEO, President of our Department etc), and other layoffs I felt changes were coming and wanted to get ahead of those. I resigned however loved working for Red River and would work for them again if the opportunity presented itself. True professionals.
