Pros

Coworkers, some really great people work here. Unfortunately nobody has any authority except for the CEO.

Cons

The structure of the company, the CEO, and extremely high turnover rate. When I first started at Rhythm, I liked my job. I loved the people and I really enjoyed my work. But, soon that changed. People that were my friends -- and great employees -- were randomly fired. There was no warning and no reason. This has continued to happen over and over again. Most of us walk around at work knowing that the CEO may decide to fire us at anytime. It's brutal and no way to work. Not only have their been way too many firings for a company this small, but some awesome people have quit -- some without even having new jobs -- because the culture and atmosphere is so bad. The CEO is the worst manager of people that I have ever seen. He constantly changes his mind and is always giving us new "strategies" that contradict what he said the day before. There is no predictability about the company and really there is no future. This is not a place to build a career, but a stopping point to look for a better job. It's a hard pill to swallow because it could be such a great place and in fact, I think it used to be. It's just not anymore. The smoke screen that Rhythm puts up may make it seem like an awesome place to work, BUT IT'S NOT. It's not the truth. People are afraid at work of what will happen to their job or the company. I can't think of anyone I know that works here that isn't looking for a new job. I wish Rhythm well, but I also wish I would have read reviews like this before starting work here. So, if this can make a difference for someone then it's worth it. Ask around about this company, see what other information you can find out, don't just base your judgment on what they tell you.

Pros

Exciting Technology that is being deployed in a wide variety of locations. The company was started in 2008 and is already making waves in a historically slow to change industry. The people who end up staying here are dedicated and motivated to do what they do and make an impact. The option to take on a high level of responsibility is great for any career. There was recently a management change. This has reduced inter-company political instability to a large degree (You can see from other reviews that there was a fair amount of that). 2015 is a BIG product development year for us and it is good to see the new management stabilizing the R&D pipeline. This is a sales driven company so we have profits to back up our technology. We also just moved into a pretty cool office in order to better handle the growth of the company from an employee and technology sense. I expect the growth to continue for quite some time. The people are all very friendly.

Cons

It seems that management choices made in the past have not optimized growth and left some bad tastes in peoples mouth. If you do not have an entrepreneurial mentality and are not driven to make an impact in peoples lives, then this isn't for you.
