Pros

There are some really great individuals to work with. Company tries to incorporate fun into the workday and they are somewhat flexible with work schedules and has some good perks - free snacks, the week off between Christmas & New Years, and lunch is provided on Fridays.

Cons

It appears that most decisions are made only considering the short term. Rightside hires on the gimmick that they have fun at work, however while the work environment itself was fun on the surface, it often went past healthy competition and teamwork to one that was rife with backstabbing and resentment. Also, there is little growth potential and rampant nepotism. They hire many higher level positions through contacts externally, and promote those they have personal relationships with. There is a lack of organization, communication & cohesiveness between individual departments which results in key people not being informed of business decisions that impact them timely. As this causes a rippling effect, it does not go unnoticed by other companies, employees and clients.

Pros

The company truly cares about building and maintaining a positive, supportive culture. Everyone that works here is top-tier, and works hard and smart to attain our goals. Most importantly, fun is at the center of everything they do. PTO is very fair, separate sick leave a plus. Typically give week between Christmas and New Years as holiday.

Cons

They need to seriously re-examine their benefit packages. There is ZERO maternity/paternity/new parent leave, zero travel/transit benefit (not even offering discounts on ORCA or good to go passes when the company is next to a toll bridge!), and individual goal-setting is pretty much nonexistent - and this impacts year-end bonuses. WFH is technically ok with manager approval, but is seriously frowned upon - yet everything is completely online and/or in the cloud.
