Vantaggi
Before 2023 this would have been a four or five star review. The junior staff were all great, though most have now resigned.
Svantaggi
This was one of the most bizarre companies I worked for. A textbook example of how quickly a company can go from being a rising star, ambitious and highly collaborative to being poor quality, have a toxic environment, with no trust, restrictions on internal communication and unqualified staff given top management positions. The company was/is clearly running out of money and went through several rounds of restructure to save money but management would spread rumours about the people leaving due to transgressions, rather than swallow their pride and admit it was streamlining. Staff were fired 1 day before milestones in their contracts, e.g. probation, and given no support in the off-boarding process. There was no humanity, due to a UK management who are of very poor quality and lacking experience, As other reviews have stated, the CEO is very sensitive, insecure and a sad example of a man. He promises the world, including employee bonuses/options and is incapable/unable/disinterested in following through. He is a toxic little man who humiliates employees publicly, has a dictatorial streak and is completely out of his depth. Somehow he keeps raising money from a dream, and keeps the company limping along, whereas the reality of the chaos is hidden from investors. UK middle management are incapable of decision making, again as promoted into positions they are ill equipped for. To anyone considering the company, I would ignore the sales patter. Enquire more on what stage the technology is really at, beyond the flashy videos. There is no training available to employees and team management's technical ability is disappointing. I would also encourage junior employees to avoid this company as it will be a scarring first employment. Please read the other reviews too as they paint a reasonable picture of other aspects of working for Ryff.
