      Think twice if you're female

      Pros

      Great people work at Redbubble, I enjoy coming to the office every day to work with engaged, smart people who enjoy what they do. The benefits offered to employees are generous and appreciated.

      Cons

      From my position I see senior women being sidelined or silenced. The women that are managing to succeed are working three times as hard as anyone else to be given the same amount of respect as their male colleagues. Flexible hours are given lip service, but no support is given to those trying to make it work. The expectation seems to be that they'll work a full time job and get paid less. In a recent company communication announcing the promotion of two (more) males to the senior leadership team, their mastery of the "gentlemanly arts" of drinking until the bar closes was mentioned. This was meant as tongue in cheek, but speaks volumes about the senior leaderships team's unconscious bias. Further evidence of this bias can be seen in the makeup of the web product teams. The most technically challenging projects were assigned all-male teams. The projects more aligned with marketing and user experience were assigned all the female engineers, bar one.

      From Martin Hosking, Redbubble's Founder and CEO You have raised an important issue that Redbubble, along with many other technology companies, is dealing with, that of inclusiveness and diversity. I want to emphasise that we consider that promoting diversity and inclusiveness is not only fundamentally aligned to our values but is a key to success. We recognise that the inclusive environment we aspire to has not yet been realised. While progress has been made in key areas that we have focussed on including gender diversity in the engineering team and in leadership roles, clearly we still have more work to do. We are committed to learning from our mistakes, embracing feedback and improving. What we need to do now is to double-down on living up to our ideals and aspirations. We have important things to do in hiring and leadership development that we remain committed to. We need to understand more about the challenges people are facing at Redbubble. I appreciate your commentary about the email. As you note the email was tongue in cheek but it lacked the kind of compassion that I seek to role model. I accept accountability for the impact and I have unreservedly apologised for the hurt these words caused. We want to see an environment at Redbubble that is genuinely inclusive. We see this as an opportunity to realise our aspirations and I want to underscore our commitment to the journey. Martin

      Great Mission - loved helping artists

      Pros

      I worked at RB for quite a while. It was a great company back when I was there in 2021. The mission of helping artists was fantastic - lots of creative freedom to voice opinions on how to improve the artist experience and marketplace.

      Cons

      Loads of layoffs every year or so. Many of my colleagues have left since. Still a good business.

      Sensational company to be part of!!

      Pros

      Inclusive culture, family feel, super supportive in all aspects of your role and personal life in particular to working parents. Very sociable and transparent management/open door policy. I loved going to work everyday as I felt extremely valued, supportive of each Bubbler creating impact and I adored working with every single colleague whether within my department or wider community.

      Cons

      Can be a little challenging to grow within the company. Promotions can be few and far between in roles outside of the tech space

      Hi, it's Kevin from the SF office. I'd love to learn how we can improve your experience. Whether that's a chat with Martin, Vanessa, or Dan, or some feedback in our upcoming Culture Amp pulse check, we'd love to hear your thoughts. I do agree though, we work with some great people across all of our offices.

      Great culture, solid workplace

      Pros

      Very friendly colleagues, great perks (like a stocked kitchen, monthly fitness fund, Friday drinks), beautiful office space, approachable management. Company values are admirable and management work to make sure they're present in the day to day. Most people really care about the company mission.

      Cons

      Growing quickly means decisions are sometimes made without a lot of thought into the long term impact. Communication can break down between teams quite easily, and communication from management isn't always entirely transparent.

      Pros

      It was not often that on Sunday I catch myself looking forward to going to work on Monday. That is a thing that happens now, working at Redbubble. I really appreciate the fact that People&Culture seem to care about things aside from just the work but actually making employees happy. Other reviews have mentioned this already, but things like laid back and intelligent colleagues, a standing desk if you want it, the lunch / stocked kitchen, quite groovy-decorated and light office space, all contribute to happiness. That and of course the usual: being trusted to do your thing well, given freedom and autonomy with little management interference/overhead/ballast. I also feel as if I am somehow contributing to a slightly "meaningful" endeavour. Facilitating the artists selling their work to customers, instead of selling ads or something. That makes it easier to look at myself in the mirror every day, too. I like that if you're still at your desk at 6pm, someone is bound to come and tell you you should probably be heading home. That is one of the single most important indicators that a company's culture has the right work/life/priorities balance. I feel privileged to be working among the Bubblers.

      Cons

      The hiring process was a protracted nightmare, unfortunately. But I think I caught them at an unfortunate time - no fault of anyone in particular, just the stars aligning that way. I'd love to be able to work part-time, but since the company is growing and everyone is mega busy as it is, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
