Pros

So many bad things about this place, it is hard to write anything positive. I will say that the technology is good, and there are many good people employed there.

Cons

I have been here for over 1 year now and things just get worse. The founder of the company is the Con. He is the source of all things bad at Rhythm. Be very leery of any company when the founder and CEO posts his own 5 star review on Glassdoor! "Amazing culture", amazingly bad! People have been laid off, fired, and just quit. Some that have quit don't even have another job to go to, it is THAT BAD! Th founder has a huge ego and is a big micromanager. With all the turnover, he just hired a bunch of consultants to help him figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. If he really wants to find the problem, he could save the company a lot of money by just buying a mirror and looking into it. THAT is where he can see the problem.

Pros

I worked there full-time for years and continue to work with Rhythm on a contract basis. I received constant feedback on my job performance and was given multiple performance-based raises and generous performance-based bonuses. I had a particular family situation that required me to be away from work frequently and the management team was supportive and respectful of my personal time. I have read the negative reviews here and think they have more to do with the pace of the employee writing it, than the management team. Not everyone is well-suited to think on their feet, self-direct, and change directions on a dime and for those people I could see how the speed and agility required to work at Rhythm could be frustrating. The management team makes fair decisions based on what is best for the employees AND CLIENTS. It's just common sense that when a company has explosive growth and has to hire many new employees to keep up with the demand, inevitably some of them are not going to work out in the long term, but that is for each individual employee to prove or disprove on their own.

Cons

The pace is very fast because they are a technology company that has to stay lean and agile to maintain an edge. If you are looking for a company that values tenure and famliiarity over progress, job performance and results, I would honestly direct you to apply for a job with a large, older company/government entity known for doing blanket lay offs where you will have traditional red tape and formalities.

A toxic culture of distrust and firings

Pros

Random incentives like all-company trips to the Bahamas (followed by mass layoffs usually)

Cons

If you look on LinkedIn, you'll find about 30 people who have been involuntarily terminated from Rhythm Engineering during 2010-2013 or left on their own accord, out of a staff of 50. The technology is good but the CEO is an egomaniac who does not trust others and knows nothing about leadership or running a company. The management team has no real authority or influence. If you don't care about job security, raises or respect, this is a good place to work.
