Great Place to Work: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Empleado anónimo en ROLI

There is the potential to work with bright, creative, and friendly people, although by now many employees have been laid off, have left, or are looking for jobs elsewhere. Some but not all products are distinctive and powerful but are hampered by design and quality issues.

Senior management, including especially the CEO, have created more a cult than a culture, one that is manipulative and duplicitous. It is particularly insidious in that while the company portrays itself as progressive, dynamic, innovative, and worker-friendly by doing such things as offering free—although diminishing in quality and quantity—vegetarian lunch, it simultaneously refuses employees raises or promotions and limits their ability to successfully perform their job duties and find career fulfillment. It's characteristic to watch new hires gradually see their aspirations crushed until they are summarily dismissed or find employment elsewhere. The CEO micromanages hardware and software development teams, leading to rampant confusion, rapidly changing priorities, and numerous in-development products left to rot on the vine. The marketing department routinely portrays non-existent functionality and as a result the company over-promises and under-delivers to customers. This trait is apparently endemic to the company as a whole, contributing to what was unfortunately a frankly regrettable portion of my career.

Certainly a company creating cool products with very talented people at the helm

Imagine a place where your opinion mattered. Imagine a place where you felt empowered and you were given free reign to do the job that you were hired to do. Imagine a place where the executive team had a clear strategy and direction and were able to communicate that properly. Imagine a company where the CEO actually had loads of experience being an “Executive” and therefore knew what he was doing. Sadly, you will find none of that at ROLI.
