Pros

Nice facility with a nice view of the river. Latest technology friendly people (mostly).

Cons

The management in this company is woefully inept. The organizational structure is such that several groups are under the same "senior" leader who is so busy juggling multiple roles that keeping track of what's going on with the customer isn't one of the top priorities. Titles mean nothing here. Authority is limited to a few select individuals who have been with the company since it's inception. Engineers are treated well and if asked to do something they don't want to do, will run to one of the "senior" leaders who will override any direction given towards delivering on a contract. The organization lacks some basic customer support skills and relies on senior engineers to do both support and installations. It's really all about how many certifications they can get so as to acquire more government contracts. Then, it's impossible to get resources scheduled to fulfill their commitments because everyone is fighting for the same handful of competent people. Sales engineers write agreements knowing that the skill to perform the work doesn't exist, then the scramble to find a resource begins. There is no room for growth in this place. Once you are hired to do a job, that's where you will stay until they decide they don't need you anymore. The benefits are mediocre at best. It's a PR machine that focuses on making money from the government.

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.
