Pros
Company has too much money coming from the parent company, Solera Holdings - have fun reading its reviews too!-. Burning dollars at an insane rate. Not a sustainable strategy but nice to have on the short term. Offices are enjoyable, though they prefer to make them look good than making them functional. Free snacks and drinks. If you can learn from chaos and management mistakes, this is an awesome place. Spending time here is like attending an accelerated course in management, where you learn by the example everything one should not do. It's also a lifetime experience; you'll learn from constant lies, internal politics and betrayals. You can witness first hand what people are ready to do for money. A few months at R3PI make you a stronger person. Feels like being part of real-life versions of The Office, House of Cards and The Muppet Show altogether. Due to the lack of proper organization and efficient collaboration between offices, opportunities to travel between the 3 locations in a desperate attempt to get something done Good ambiance within team members in Zurich. Laughing about the whole situation is what makes people hold on. I've never had so many good laughs during my career. Team is made of smart and skilled people whose potentials are unfortunately greatly wasted.
Cons
Constant lies. They are already plentiful in the job descriptions and never end Internal politics Betrayals Constant changes of direction High turnover Low software quality Low motivation Long hours No vision Hierarchy doesn't care Engineers are called developers and are expected to be brainless code monkeys Developers are consumables Flat hierarchy: a single incompetent person taking all the technical decisions. Underneath is a flat mass of powerless and confused developers Positive reviews are fake. Wonderful, awesome and other superlatives are obvious red flags.
