Ventajas

Engineering teams used to be autonomous and had a huge say in overall strategy, prioritisation and implementation and in some pockets of the business this is still the case. If you end up in one of those teams it would be a great place to work for you. Strong engineering learning culture. If you're a junior developer there are many opportunities and a lot of support for you to learn and grow. If you're a senior developer there are opportunities if you can make/take them for yourself. Great work/life balance if you're in the engineering or design teams.

Desventajas

Expanding rapidly and not dealing with it very well. Recently introduced a new layer of middle management, many of whom are completely unequipped for the role and not supported in anyway which is becoming quite disastrous. Many of those that have been around for a while are quitting, especially the senior developers and the product managers as the company becomes more hierarchical and demanding. With the new hierarchy, career opportunities have started to narrow for the majority of people. With the flatter hierarchy, everyone had opportunities to make things happen if they really wanted, now you need to manage the politics of being allowed by your group of middle managers and not stepping on the toes of other groups of middle managers which makes things much more difficult. Leadership are figuring it out as they go and it really shows because they really don't seem to have any idea what or where they are going and are increasingly taking it out on those further down the food chain. It's hard to blame them entirely though because they really just don't have the experience or skills to handle the problems.

From Victor Kovalev, RB’s CTO: “I’d like to offer an acknowledgement, a commitment, and a request. I am saddened to hear that you are upset by what you see as the negative impacts of our increasing scale and our focus on team accountability and collaboration. We do fully recognize that we are continuing to refine our operating model and how leaders work together. We have introduced new leadership roles over the last year, filled by a mix of internal promotions and new hires. We are excited to be able to offer these growth opportunities, and I have to say I’m pretty proud of how our colleagues have taken on new challenges and collaborated together to build an amazing platform for our artists, customers and fulfillers. We know that our execution has not been perfect – that we have, and will continue to make mistakes, and we are learning from them. As you know, at Redbubble we have a strong culture of growth and learning, and that includes in how we lead the business. I’d like to understand more about specifically what challenges you are facing at the moment and I regret that without knowing the context of what team you are a member of it is hard for me to help you. We want to get to a place where everyone is comfortable having candid conversations. This is my commitment to you - Redbubble is creating an environment where folks who feel similarly to you feel encouraged and safe to bring it up more directly, so we can both debug your particular situation and translate that into wider improvements for everyone on our team. My ask of you: If at any point you do feel comfortable reaching out, please don’t hesitate to ping me in person to discuss this directly. I promise to maintain your anonymity, to listen, and my best of efforts to improve things.
