Avantages
Relaxed dress code. Spirits are kept under the CEO's cabinet, occasionally it comes out for everyone. It's a simple office with no silly perks to distract you so you can stay 100% focused on your monitor. Some of the developers are very good at what they do, so if they've just recently started, you might get to work with them for a few months before they quit and move on.
Inconvénients
The business model sounds clever, but the reality is that it isn't resonating in the jewelry industry like management originally hoped. Stress level within the executive team is high, and they often take out their frustrations on the staff. Yelling overheard in conference rooms is common. In the last year, 12 other employees left, which is a lot since the Seattle office only holds two dozen people. (This should be a BIG RED WARNING FALG for you.) This results in them having to rehire for previously filled positions, which gives the appearance they're growing. The reality at Ritani is that management is under-qualified & way under-funded for what they're trying to do. Their people skills are terrible and they lack professionalism. Finally, management bribes new hires with beer to vote 100% favorably in the annual Seattle business top 100 places to work for. Seasoned staff learns otherwise and leaves, otherwise they wouldn't be winning anything. I could go on and on as could others. The bottom line is this is not a good place to work and if you're smart enough to listen to this review you're probably smart enough to land a better employer elsewhere. Some people use Ritani as a place to secure work and then quickly land a better gig elsewhere.
