Pros

Young, small company Pretty central to Downtown

Cons

Unless you're a part of the Exec Team, you're not a valued employee. Everything comes top down. The company meetings you do have are basically lies / smoke and mirrors of what's to come of the "exciting opportunities ahead" - but unless you're senior level, you won't touch the work. There is no collaboration or opportunity for growth - so if you want a career, forget about this place. Once you're placed in a role, you'll stay there with no way up or out. The rumor mill there is atrocious; I've heard and personally witnessed characteristics of the leadership team I couldn't believe, it's a shame really. The leadership team is a little outdated if you ask me, with that, thinking they're still current and their ideas / tactics are relevant; however they're not quick enough to adopt to the ever changing landscape of technology, social media and marketing (they use Facebook like it's 2007). The office is quiet, moody and toxic. The creative team acts like toddlers, where internal meetings have ended with chairs being thrown or discriminatory language used towards people, it's disgusting. Rally should really be a sales company- they're really good liars, can nail a pitch, but with poor follow through of work. I was not a fan of the 401k plan; PTO doesn't get any better the longer you're there & I wouldn't say this place encourages vacations. The pay is sub-par, no bonuses (you get $100 bill during Christmas), hard to get promotions, so you're really stuck with what you come in at. All in all, Rally is really good at manipulation; they'll hook you (over-promise) and then under-deliver.

Have no illusions about a career here

Pros

The schedule is flexible, the pay is fair and the people you work with are really nice....although there is so much turnover that this may not be true in the future.

Cons

I like to think of Rally as a rest stop on your way to the final destination. Everyone is nice and the clients are great, but have no illusions that this will be a career position. There is no "team" environment or any semblance of loyalty due to the simple fact that the turnover is so unbelievably high. They hire and fire at a dizzying pace with no interest in developing the people who already work there. I have seen this happen to probably 30+ people while at the company (which is significant since they only have about 30 people that work there.) The result of their call center hire/fire mentality is poor morale, mediocre work and client distrust.

Rally is a toxic place. Plain and simple.

Pros

Nice office location. Fairly decent benefits for a small firm but not for the Seattle market.

Cons

Rally is always overstating or misrepresenting who and what they are...they certainly are trying to be the little engine that could but after losing business their client roster is not up to date and though they want to have an "agency" culture they are so out of touch they just dictate and disempower people. Leadership is out of touch with the company culture they have created. A day in the life of Rally is frequent abusive discourse or inappropriate comments and behavior by leadership. There is a lot of finger pointing, passing the buck, verbal abuse and even chair throwing which is tolerated there. Rally treats it's middle managers and individual contributors as disposable and for such a small company it is mind blowing. Their attrition is horrendous and a good case study for Change Management, which should start at the top. This is a company to stay away from...their gratitude to staff equates to a $100 bonus given at their holiday party.
