Pros

A truly global company with colleagues from many different countries and cultures. The work environment is collaborative, and there isn't a strong hierarchy based on titles—people are approachable regardless of whether they are managers or senior leaders. The fully remote working model offers great flexibility and helps maintain a good work-life balance. There are opportunities to work on international projects, learn from experienced teammates, and develop both professionally and personally.

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive compared to the market. Benefits can be extended

Hardworking team hindered by ineffective leadership

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mission driven and people that are very hardworking and want to do their best

Cons

The Executive Leadership team needs to be scrutinized. They work against each other and against RA values and devalue the mission of the amazing organization. The answer to every thing is a restructure and reorganization. Very reactive and do not learn from their past mistakes.
