Pros

The office - which you're forced to go to - has snacks.

Cons

The owner frequently promotes his romantic partners to high-level positions within his companies and is currently in a relationship with the CEO, which is being kept secret, but not effectively, from employees. This has created a toxic work environment where employees feel uncomfortable and unable to report concerns, as the CEO is in a relationship with the owner. The owner's power and lack of accountability has led to a lack of transparency, trust, and respect among employees, making it difficult for them to feel secure and valued in their positions. To add to the stress, the owner has been laying off staff, leaving the remaining employees with an increased workload and burnout. This situation has resulted in mass resignations as employees are leaving in search of a better work environment.

Pros

You'll work with some pretty cool people, intra-team dynamics are good and strong. Your team managers will go to bat for you during leadership meetings and support you. Above all else, the non-senior management people at the company are good, kind, and will actively try to help you.

Cons

Ownership has stepped in more actively and that's lead to many senior members leaving and a vacuum of leadership, institutional knowledge, and an overall downturn of company culture. Ownership and senior management will force teams to surprise hard deadlines, make you work on other companies/projects the owner has, and spring new products/features on you. Team leads will try and get better deadlines, better visibility of schedules/products but they'll just get over-ruled every time. Also, they don't pay super well and I was told I'd get a conversation about a raise and after ~4 months of being told it was going to happen, never got anything further. I felt like I didn't care about the company when I realized that there wasn't going to be an upturn in how the company was feeling, and that I wouldn't be growing unless I was doing things outside of work.

Toxic company culture reemerging, especially for women

Pros

Most senior people are jumping ship so there are job opportunities for those willing to overlook unethical things. Middle management are good people and attempt to protect their employees from the toxicity, but this only goes so far.

Cons

Rebel has become an really toxic environment, especially for women. Many women have quit or been fired in the last year, leaving a company dominated by men. During a company all-hands meeting in 2022, the owner boasted to the entire staff that he has married two of his employees, making everyone very uncomfortable. The owner frequently makes inappropriate jokes, mentions employees' breasts, and bemoans their laziness. I made the best decision of my life by leaving Rebel.
