Extreme highs, some non-negligible lows - Anonymous employee Resulta Employee Review

-Resulta operates fiercely within some seedy world-class industries. You'll need to be comfortable with that. For the most part, the excessive company perks help the medicine go down. Early efforts to diversify the company's assets are hilariously lackluster thus far - you can't SEO your way out of half-baked ideas in heavily saturated markets. While employees are protected if things go sideways, current projects feel like a moth is being drawn closer to the flame. -Sometimes the company perks are tinged with the feeling that it is all an explicit brand-loyalty exercise to help cover over some of the dubiousness. I have almost an entire wardrobe based on Resulta swag - basically head-to-toe! Upon reflection, I've realized that actually isn't a normal practice for a company and probably made me feel guilty wanting to leave. The generosity serves the end goal, which is to position Resulta as the employer of choice. -There were many weird firings pre-COVID, so your position may not be as stable as you might imagine. I did not see weird firings in my department or other departments I worked with closely, however, so your mileage may vary. -Project management at Resulta is an absolute nightmare. Resulta's reliance on other external partners means that the ambitious, exciting projects are in a constant state of uncertainty. The ultimate end goals of projects are sometimes reserved for select employees (which does actually make some sense), but oftentimes employees are not given enough information to handle their roles and responsibilities correctly and efficiently the first time. You can expect project requirements to change frequently over time, sometimes undoing everything you had worked on. As a result, I don't have optimism for the company in the long-term and do not expect all of their ambitious projects to work out. -When I began working, Resulta was at the perfect number of employees and tasks/projects were more predictable in nature. Upon my departure, the employee base ballooned in size and some natural growing pains emerged from it. Who do you consult with? Who needs to know about what you are working on? Everyone is stretched too thin. -Communication between teams highly varied. Communication with some teams was really quick, and was nauseatingly slow with other teams. -Growth opportunities vary. I hit my ceiling after a few years (very obviously so) and it will make sense to leave, even if you receive a minor promotion. It is very easy to feel complacent, in spite of company marketing to the contrary. -Resulta is an affiliate marketing company. If you are in marketing or directly serve the front-end design of the marketing, you can expect to be compensated well and fairly if your product is doing well. If your product does poorly, expect the boot. If you aren't involved in anything directly front-facing, be prepared to get majorly short-changed. There are some MAJOR issues with fair compensation in the IT departments broadly, especially for long-standing employees who have worked at Resulta for 5+ years. As some jobs at Resulta have narrow growth opportunities, employees will naturally leave to greener pastures unless they are compensated competitively to stay.
