Pros
Potential to work with interesting technologies to solve real world problems. Some great and talented people have worked at RedEye but have all since left disillusioned with poor leadership and culture.
Cons
- Developers underpaid compared to market rates at other startups in Brisbane market. - Technical advice from dev team disrespected. Most often advice on scheduling/timelines for tasks completely ignored. - Senior management has no software experience and has shown complete lack of willingness to learn or accept advice from anyone. - Developers constantly 'crunched' for deadlines. - Management team constantly changing priorities chasing ideas they think are 'the next big thing' instead of tangible goals which would deliver client projects. - Poor culture. CEO in particular talks a lot about creating good culture but is actually the biggest destroyer of culture with his complete disrespect of employees. Often comes into the office yells for everyone to get into a circle and then talks at employees for an hour showing complete disrespect for the work employees are doing when he interrupts. - Very high employee burn rate for a period of 2 years now.
