Digital solutions is a shambles

Pros

There are very few positives left to working here.

Cons

For a period RES had been a nice place to work but since a poorly executed reorganisation last year all of the digital solutions team has been miserable and most of us looking for the exit. We have no real direction or clear product goals and it has never been communicated as to why the restructuring happened or what its purpose was. There is a distinct lack of leadership in the business with just a vp of product who is never around and a product strategist with little clue how to run a software team. A team lead was fired though they were helping to improve things. and nobody seems to know why. This has killed all morale in the team and 2 developers have already found new jobs. Others have said on here there is no career progression at all and the recent pay rises weren’t good. They pay bonuses but they’re not always that great. Seeing that last year was horrible for many of us I expected that we’d be treated better than this.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and the reorganization's impact on your experience. Change can be challenging, and we recognize the need for clearer communication around the restructuring and the direction of the Digital Solutions team. Leadership is committed to clarifying our product goals and ensuring teams feel supported.

Pros

Learn a lot. Really friendly people. Really pick up and run with my suggests (which come thick and fast). Self-organising teams. Engaged and pro-active teams. Lots of really smart people. Moving in a great direction. Very flexible and great work-life balance. Very keen for people to try out different teams. High quality code (I can only speak for the team I've worked in). I work fully remotely, which I really love. But you can work fully in an office, or hybrid (there are offices all over the place, a particularly large amount in the UK). One thing which other people seem very amazed by is the length of paternity leave, it's enhanced by 13 weeks! But I think that shows something of the company. Most important to me is that what we do is so important right now, and we are really are at the edge and pushing hard.

Cons

Were a bit behind the times when I started, in terms of CI/CD, Agile etc. But are getting up-to-date really quickly and we're now ahead of the curb I'd say... well my team is. I'd say hiring needs to be dramatically improved. The actual interview process is very much down to the individual team, and I think the team I applied for (and now work for) was pretty good. But it took me ages to find RES, and I was looking in the evenings for months for pretty much this exact job. If you don't think the job description fits, just apply, there's lots of need around the company, and moving about is often offered.

Thank you for all of the positive remarks about RES and our great benefits! Glad to hear that you are getting up-to-date within your team. There will be additional assistance in recruitment shortly. Great advice on the movement within the company and opportunities for other positions.
