Ventajas
During my time at Riley Hayes, I was fortunate to meet so many great and talented people employed there. These people made Rile Hayes great and added a fun and friendly culture on the surface. They genuinely enjoyed what they did, and they made RH a fun and positive environment. The space is very nice, a historic rail station next to the river, tucked away in a back lot with parking spaces provided for all employees, a very nice perk working in downtown.
Desventajas
Unfortunately this company does not seem to be the entity it was when I first began working there. Over the last 9 or so months there has been a cultural shift and general lack of caring or empathy for its employees. Many people were plagued by a fear of getting let go for almost anything, a bad meeting, a bad conversation, a bad look ..... there was a real sense of fear that took over. There was also a general distrust of people lower on the "totem pole", meaning if someone made a good or pertinent suggestion that was genuinely intended to help and clearly the best option, it would easily and often be overridden by someone higher up with a differing opinion and bigger ego. There is a true lack of humility here and lack of respect for allowing people to be masters over their domain, it's more that people are allowed to be masters over their domain unless otherwise stated, then you need to keep quiet. Lastly, the company has continually let go of people that were key pieces of the business in producing work for the clients, it seems they do not value the talent they have.
