Avantages
1) People: Some very engaged, sensitive and intelligent folks work at Redbubble making the atmosphere generally friendly and pleasant. 2) Work-Life: Australian culture, 4 weeks of vacation, and flexibility to work from home all help foster good work-life balance, but that has begun to change due to increased pressure for short-term results since the company went public. 3) Free Merch: If you can get past the fact that they're knockoffs, there are lots of free t-shirts, stickers, and phone cases to be had featuring your favorite movies, tv shows, games and music. 4) Benefits: Solid 401k matching program, decent health, dental and vision plan options and lots of other good benefits for specific needs are offered.
Inconvénients
1) Ethical Concerns: It's hard to swallow the company Kool-Aid about "helping independent artists" when so much counterfeit merch is being sold on the site at the expense of indie musicians, game developers, graphic designers and even YouTubers. 2) Leadership: Senior executives seem unable to prioritize and constantly second-guess decisions resulting in wasted time, energy and resources that the company does not have. They come across as out-of-touch, unrealistic and inept, perhaps because most are based in a remote market that represents less than a tenth of the company's business. 3) Strategy: Incremental short-term growth tactics like product line extension, paid marketing and discounting have been exhausted. Meanwhile, management has failed to identify or adequately invest in and nurture long-term, transformational opportunities. Redbubble seems lost. 4) Products: When you come right down to it, the company's products are generally mediocre, from the slow website and clunky app to the overpriced t-shirts and notebooks
