Autonomous culture with growing pains in a young company - Operations Rize Education Employee Review

Smartest people I've ever worked with, all working on some big problems, passionate about higher education. Creative owners, driven, thoughtful - it's the best place I've ever worked.

None for me, but I think the pace at a fast-moving start-up in a changing space has to be a fit for your personality.

Genuinely some great, fun people, some of whom really care about education. Fun in person culture, parties. Good for folks who want the "Startup grind" and get to work at a very high-potential growth, work hard play hard startup and put in long work weeks.

Super chaotic startup-y management. There's an unspoken culture of expecting everyone to make work their life and grind 50-80 hour workweeks. Folks who don't grind this hard or line up with management are pushed out very ruthlessly and often without any warning. Very little willingness to invest in actually training employees and fostering growth. I've known several people know who have either burnt out and left or been very suddenly pushed out without warning.
