Pros

These people create some mind-boggling technology that fixes traffic signal timing. Very nice people to work with and work for. The InSync product makes meaningful difference to the motorists and I loved to be a part of it. A very fast paced company with a fun culture. I had a great time. The management wants you to have a healthy work-life balance, neither do they tolerate workplace politics and mediocre performance. I left because I was moving to a different state.

Cons

I didn't really care for the 9:00 AM all-company huddle. It broke my rhythm (no pun intended) :) but with all the remote folks that work here, I understand why they do it.

Just plain scary

Pros

Product is okay, but is it marketable enough to sustain a company and support customer projects? Maybe work at Rhythm Engineering if you've zero other options. Company could soon go under, you could be fired, or you might quit. Maybe that's a "pro".

Cons

Plenty of "cons". Suffice it to say this place seems to floundering even more than before and management appears, at best, to have a questionable agenda.

Pros

- Able to take charge and influence the direction of projects, if you have the desire - Great coworkers

Cons

Unfortunately there are too many cons about Rhythm to list here. The problem (as many reviewers have stated) starts at the top. You have a company owner who admits he doesn't know how to run a business, yet continues to stick his nose into everything. He hires COOs who are yes-men to run the company, and then he takes over departments because he just can't let go. The latest COO has already caused turnover in senior management by a combination of not knowing how to run a start-up and not being able to work with managers who stick up for their subordinates. If you aren't a yes-man too, you'll probably be "resigned" shortly. Two R&D dept heads have been "resigned" in the last 6 months for sticking up for their employees and caring about our products. Basically, the closer you are to the owner/CEO, the more limited the lifespan of your job here will be. Other problems include the lack of any market analysis before new products are thrown into development by the owner, absolutely ZERO security in our systems and products, and a general lack of knowledge of how our products work outside of junior staff or a few people in R&D. While this may seem like an awesome place to work in an interview due to the relaxed atmosphere and easy schedule, please do yourself a favor and avoid this place unless you are only looking for short-term employment.
