Vantaggi

It looks better than a blank spot on a resume. You can feel good knowing you will never work anyplace worse than this. Free coffee. Clean bathrooms.

Svantaggi

Owner regularly screams at employees for things that have nothing to do with them or are beyond their control. Owner is crazy and puts most of the company's resources into projects that no one cares about and lose money. Owner also knows very little about design or business and only cares about his wallet. Owner will tell clients anything to get their money and regularly misleads them or outright lies to them. Very few clients work with RKS after a project is over. Many leave mid project. Employee turnover is extremely high. No one believes how high it is until they see it for themselves.

We welcome feedback, positive and negative however, we completely disagree with this review. We, in fact, have a very high client return rate with only an exceptionally rare cancellation which occurs should a corporation change course, as all in this profession know and accept. Many of our clients have been working with us for 20 years and longer. In business for over 35 years, our contributions to people's lives is what propels us. Our integrity, talent, knowledge, approach and experience has led to countless success stories for our clients and great admiration of the RKS team and their contributions by it's management. In the process of serving our clients and the greater good, our team and the ownership have also shared in the success. This review is simply false and malicious.

Vantaggi

Interesting projects, good range of clients Other designers were generally kind and talented Some level of independence Can choose focus area Learn a lot quickly Owner is a good salesman and can be personable (But when things go wrong, he is very difficult, near impossible to deal with. See in cons below.) I had some fun times and connected with coworkers, but overall I had a difficult time mostly from the stress given to management, which trickled down.

Svantaggi

Business preys on young designers' willingness to work hard: Low start salaries, very few bonuses given, if any Location is far from LA central. Thousand Oaks is a conservative suburb. Long hours. Did not respect need for work/life balance Lack of mentorship, due to short timelines Owner lied pretty frequently, changed things at whim, sometimes undermining work of his own team in front of clients Owner clearly prioritizes the money he makes over employees' wellbeing Experienced designers who started at RKS, quit fairly quickly. If you do decide to work here, do not stay longer than 2 years. Any more is unhealthy.

On behalf of myself, and my team, I'm disappointed to see this type of baseless remark. RKS's contributions of Psycho-Aesthetics (P/A) as an advanced Design Thinking Methodology is endorsed by Harvard, Wharton, the U.S. state Department and taught at various universities regularly; SCAD, CSULB,Pepperdine, UCLA, USC in addition to being shared globally through the Harvard Case study, the Harvard Classroom exercise, our business book in publication for over 8 years; Predictable Magic and our Method Book ; P/A which we use for client workshops and teaching. We proudly work pro-bono for and support multiple charities and have applied P/A to the creation of the first of its kind crowd funding social commerce start-up, LoanGifting.com to help 45 million people get out from under the burden of student debt. With hundreds of awards and being named on hundreds of patents, and clients who have been with us for decades, we strive for our individual team member's growth and success by providing mentorship, opportunity, full benefits, flex work hours, opportunity and have provided stock options in LoanGifting and RKS for team members.
