      Pros

      It's a job with steady work most of the time. Benefits and pay are pretty standard, there is an ESOP which is cool. They have quarterly updates on how the company is doing which is extremely boring to listen to, but helpful to know. Otherwise this is now a pretty basic engineering company.

      Cons

      Until recently it felt like they really thought through the plans for the company, they have 1 year, 3 year and 5 year plans. But now they are switching from mostly remote work to a hybrid work model and it feels like it wasn't thought out very well. Moral is at an all time low, people have already left the company and others are looking for work elsewhere. We had some townhall meetings about this recently and the people who made this decision weren't even there to answer questions, instead they sent someone else to be the punching bag and he didn't have answers to most of the questions people asked. I saw the other comments people wrote on here and the company response that says: "Our decision to implement a structured hybrid schedule comes from a forward-looking strategy focused on ensuring the long-term health and success of our company. The objective is to cultivate a more collaborative and integrated environment. We believe that facilitating more frequent in-person engagement is essential for nurturing our culture, fostering spontaneous innovation, and supporting the professional growth and mentorship of our team members. This is an intentional step toward building a more connected and resilient future for RETTEW" That is just is just a word salad of corporate jargon that doesn't mean anything. They gave reasons in the townhall meeting as to why they are making this change, but they feel hollow and just like an excuse to justify their decision. It is like the return to office is a solution looking for a problem to solve. They haven't laid out practical steps as to how returning to the office is supposed to help. They are just hoping that it will work, that people won't leave the company and that we won't lose clients because we can't get their work done when we lose the people who were working on their projects. What is the real reason? Probably to be able to stand behind us plebs and crack the whip to make us work harder and faster and to give us the stink eye if they see us having a non-work related conversation.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate your recognition of the steady work, benefits, and transparency we aim to provide through our company updates. While our official communications may have sounded like "corporate jargon" to you, the meaning behind it is straightforward: After careful consideration, leadership (this includes the managers that led the Town Halls) determined working together in person is essential for solving complex problems, training newer employees, and maintaining a unified company culture. It is not a "solution looking for a problem." It is the solution to ensuring RETTEW remains competitive and successful for years to come. We’re confident a return to our intended way of operating will help RETTEW stay strong and competitive in the long run. We know this change has been difficult for some, and we’re sorry if the rollout didn’t meet expectations. We’re listening and learning from the feedback, and we’re committed to improving how we communicate and support our team through transitions like this. If you’d like to discuss the reasons behind this shift or share additional feedback, please contact HR; we'd be happy to discuss it in confidence.

      Pros

      Since joining RETTEW in July of 2025, I've immersed myself within the organization to learn about its people, its history, the evolutions of the organization and its current state. I am still fully convinced my arrival at RETTEW is very much characterized by a RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME story arc. This organization is experiencing a transformation that is exciting, fulfilling and full of opportunity. In my experience, leadership is genuinely open to feedback, and members of the entire organization are heard regardless of title. My experience here has been what I've made it, and I am grateful I've chosen to engage, invest and grow my career here right now and into the future.

      Cons

      Change can be hard. Processes are always improving. With growth sometimes comes uncertainty. This will always be true, and it will be felt by those who are new to the organization when they engage with those who have been around. There is wisdom to be gained from our experiences.

      Pros

      They pay you every two weeks, have an ESOP and some of the people are great to work with.

      Cons

      About a year ago things change at Rettew, they decided to end working fully remote and switched to a hybrid model. People spoke out, concerns were ignored and the plan pushed forward, the brainchild of the new COO who is basically a corporate stiff that closes himself off to everyone and makes decisions based on statistics and articles. They ignored everyone, well, they pretended to listen and implemented the hybrid policy over several months and said that we'd have compassionate leadership that listens to us as we navigate the return to office. Corporate lingo basically, just to try and make us feel better about a change we were all against. Many people left the company and yet they didn't change their minds. They plunged ahead with their ill conceived plan.

      Thank you for sharing this; it’s clear the transition to hybrid work was frustrating, and we understand why that felt like a big change for some of our employees. We know how important it is for our employees to feel heard, especially during shifts like this. We appreciate the time you spent with RETTEW and wish you all the best moving forward.
