      "High-fructose Corn Syrup." This company may seem sweet and exciting, but you'll find its a toxic poison in disguise!

      Customer success manager (csm)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Small company where you get to know everyone, and where your coworkers are friendly. -Company lunches on most Fridays

      Cons

      -Zero upward mobility. This company only hires management externally, leaving employees to exit or stay where they are in terms of role, salary, etc. -Executive management is completely misguided by each other. The CEO only thinks and believes what the president tells him, and the president is completely out of tune with the employees, business generally, their market, & ethical behavior surrounding customers and employees. The president is the bane of this company's existence through a terrible combination decision-making power and ego-inflated narcissism. -Beyond all else, success here is determined by biased friendship. Take a look at how much of management lives on the same block, and how much time they hobby together outside of work and you'll see what I mean. -No training, no processes, no systems of control and operation.

      We appreciate feedback from all former employees, and we’d like to provide some clarification for those considering Red Pepper Software. Career Growth: Contrary to what’s stated here, we actively promote from within. The role referenced in this review was filled by an internal employee who has thrived in the position, and we continue to prioritize internal development opportunities. Leadership & Culture: Our CEO and President work closely together with the broader leadership team, and we value diverse perspectives when making decisions. While it’s clear this reviewer did not feel aligned, many of our employees find our collaborative culture to be a strength. Employee Experience: We are proud of our team, who are committed to supporting one another and driving success for our clients. Departments led by internally promoted managers are seeing significant growth and success today. We recognize that no workplace is perfect and that experiences may vary. That said, we remain dedicated to fostering professional growth, listening to employee feedback, and ensuring Red Pepper Software continues to be a great place to work.

      Worst employer of my career

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - You get to work on a lot of different projects

      Cons

      - Stressful client relationships (most customers are at least somewhat unhappy with our work) - Everything has to be done as fast as possible (measured in hours instead of days). For example we got in trouble for switching sitting assignments around because of the time it wasted. - Deceptive interviewing process (the job wasn’t what I expected). One small example is asking during the interview process about sit-stand desks. I was told I could have one. When I started, they could me I could buy one with my own money and bring it in myself. - Pay is poor (the founder doesn’t agree with market rates) - PTO is poor (12 days PTO and 8 holidays) - Employer doesn’t respect two-week notice (they may just say your last day is the day you let them know) - No career growth plan or path (employment review is a 30-minute walk with the founder that resulted in no action) - Very little collaboration with everyone working on different projects. For example, the team I was on had more projects than members of the team. - They said they cared about people until it was inconvenient. For example, one coworker had cancer and his treatments prevented him from being as available as expected. They didn’t want to lose him, but they didn’t like paying him during cancer treatments. They decided the best approach was to transition him to a contractor to avoid paying him during difficult times. In general, this is probably the worst employer I’ve ever worked for. My wife has noticed significant improvements to my mental health since quitting.

      Thank you for this candid feedback! We are sad that you had such a bad experience with us. It is true that working in software consulting is not for everyone, and we are sorry it did not work out for you. We now have purchased multiple stand-up desks and most developers can have access to such accommodations. We find our compensation packages to be competitive in the marketplace and offer a range of benefits. We are constantly working to improve our employee collaboration, client communication, and other aspects of running a business. We cannot always predict how a business relationship is going to go, but we have found that when we communicate effectively with clients to understand their needs well that projects go well. We have not to this point had an employee undergo cancer treatments while working for us, nor would we publish such information if we had with respect to HIPAA regulations. Thank you for helping us to improve!

      Software Developer, Primarily Web Development

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Start-up feeling of community and freedom with reliability of established business. Room, encouragement, and resources to learn and grow programming skills of any type. Project management leaves implementation decisions to the developers. Workplace is quiet and nice. Development team works closely together without invading the personal time needed to program.

      Cons

      Maintaining some of the legacy projects can be tedious, though this occurs infrequently. Small team leads to direct responsibility with everything. Working directly with clients sometimes cannot be shielded by management.
