Pros
The only redeeming qualities RCIS ever had were the incredible coworkers and team culture — the very things new CEO and CIO dismantled almost immediately upon arrival.
Cons
RCIS used to be a place where hard work and team spirit meant something. That all ended the moment CEO stepped in preaching “family,” then hired CIO, whose first order of business was to stab that very “family” in the back. I was a fully remote employee — with full consent and adherence to all protocols. One day I signed in to work and was summoned to a Teams call where EB looked us in the eye, said “you’re all fired,” and hung up. No dignity. No explanation. No gratitude. Just execution. The irony? I was given a severance, but no thank-you. No goodbye from my manager. I reached out — silence. Ghosted after more than a decade of contribution. I was also given a list of everyone who was let go making sure I understood it wasn't agism so I couldn't sue them which makes me think that age was absolutely part of the equation to who they selected to fire. The so-called leadership has no understanding of how to build software, manage people, or steward a legacy. They handed off critical systems like Acreage Reporting to Cognizant — who had zero domain knowledge — and provided no oversight. They flushed $10 million down the drain and blamed the people who actually produced real work. They promote politics and proximity, not productivity. High-performing remote workers are disposable. There is no transparency, no advancement, and no interest in listening to the people doing the work. Decisions are made in a vacuum, handed down like divine law, and when the fallout hits — it's your fault. The RCIS I loved is dead. What remains is a bloated, directionless shell propped up by lip service, empty slogans, and a deeply toxic leadership team.
