QA Enginner - Anonymous employee RTZ Associates Employee Review

There's way too much to list. But here are some of the lowlights; - Upper Management (Poppa Bear and Son) are arrogant, greedy people who don't care about their employees. Everyone is underpaid while these two drive around in new cars and brag openly about how rich they are. - Everyone is underpaid. I worked there for 4 years and never cracked 45k a year for a job I am now making six figures doing. Everyone that I talked to about salary also admitted to me that they knew they were grossly underpaid. - Terrible work environment. Not only is their tech out of date, overly complicated and poorly designed, but all the equipment used is from the stone age. My last year working there was 2013, and I was using Window 2000 up until 2012, when I finally was "upgraded" to Windows XP. All while working on a CTR monitor and a computer that took 2 min to load any google result. - In the end, working here was a detriment. I never learned anything about software development that was applicable in other places. For example, they don't practice scrum/agile development methodologies. In fact, the whole time I worked there, I never even heard those terms. They plan zero meetings, there are no development plans that are shared, no documentation and no use of good third party tools like JIRA or confluence. There's no sense of work/life balance. Management there just expects work. There are no in office perks like snacks (except for free soda and occasional bagels that the son brings in and then brags about what a good thing he did). All in all, if you want to be a part of the absolute, most non-tech industry tech company in the Bay Area, apply at RTZ Associates. Also, no room to advance. I was there for four years, like I've said, and held the same job. I think I got one, small raise of about 2k a year. This place is a joke.
