Pros

I've been working for Rhythm Engineering over 4 years. The company is only 7 years old. I have seen the benefits increase steadily year-over-year. Starting with health then vision, dental, life insurance and this year a 401K match has been added. My salary has increased by 86%! The bonus plan is great as well. Last year, I benefited from the company sponsored Dave Ramsey course. The CEO is talking about introducing the "Dream Manager" system that helps employees fulfill their dreams. The best thing about working here is that I'm not micromanaged. The level of trust is very high and you really have to mess up royally before you get into trouble. I take pride in what I do to help bring loved ones to their destination faster and safer. The company growth is exponential. From 2008, revenues have grown year-over-year consistently. In 2014, it looks like the company is going to have a 100% growth. The management team intends to grow the company by 65% year-over-year for the next 5 years. I am very please to contribute to this growth. At its heart, regardless of the revenue growth, the company is organized and managed as a startup company. No frills, no outside investors telling us what to do, lean workforce, organic growth clearly mark the company as one of the best startup organizations in Kansas City. The CEO is a very smart and humble engineer and businessman. I constantly hear him say that he is not qualified to lead the company, he has never been in this position before and needs to fire himself and find a better qualified CEO. I disagree. He invented/came up with the idea for the product(s) that the company sells. His vision for future products is wicked awesome. After watching his business acumen closely for 4 years, I am convinced that he is one of the best and brightest business people in Kansas City.

Cons

Cons?! You are kidding me! I love Rhythm Engineering and will bleed for this company. I love the growth journey of this company. It is like watching your baby grow.

Pros

The management team is brilliant. The CEO is humble and leads well. He often admits that he's in new territory and that he is not qualified to lead the company. He is actively looking to replace himself. The R&D leader calls himself "Puffy" and considers himself the dumbest person in the room. The Operations leader truly cares for people. I have a unique role and my contributions matter to moving Rhythm Engineering forward. I am not micro managed. The quarterly reviews are great. The mission of the company is meaningful and makes a difference to the motorists. I love Rhythm Engineering!

Cons

Absolutely none! Lets keep on growing!

Pros

Not many. There are some very good people there who got caught up in a very dysfunctional company. The location was close for me too.

Cons

The CEO / Founder is the number one Con. He has a huge ego, makes poor decisions, spends the company's money like it is his piggy bank, and likes to micromanage everyone. He held a 9AM meeting every day and everyone had to come as a way to micromanage everyone. He is very impulsive and fires people on a whim. A lot of good people have left. At least 60% turnover rate in less than 12 months. The President left, 3 Vice Presidents left and there were only 4 Vice Presidents there! Please read all the reviews. Notice that there are not any so-so reviews (3 stars), only a bunch of 1 star reviews with a few 5 star reviews mixed in. I don't know for sure, but I think the CEO wrote all the 5 star reviews himself!
