Pros

Colleagues - A players. Enjoyed working with colleagues on projects that focused on clients needs.

Cons

Leadership non-existent. If you are not 'part of the club' you are out, as evidence by recent layoffs and furloughs. Leadership? Riveron closed their 'best' March in the history of the company. FAS came in over $3m over goal. Wait for it...May 2020, lay offs and cuts. WHY? Oh..it's because leadership places their distribution pay out higher than their employees lives during a Black Swan Event. While other companies leaders take pay cut, Riveron's leaders once again - put themselves above the people that contributed to their success. Clouds are coming, Riveron. Poor choices personally bleed into professional life.

Riveron Response

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. The events of the past few weeks are unfortunate, and this is a tough time for many companies. Prior to reducing headcount, Riveron took numerous other actions such as reducing non-essential spending, pausing on real estate improvements and expansions, and reducing executive compensation. While Riveron was prepared for changing markets, nothing could prepare us for the sudden impact of COVID-19. We appreciate your service to Riveron, and we wish you future success.

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
