Pros

Very booze and happy hour friendly employer (especially if working at corporate!). Everyone is generally friendly. I was able to translate everything I learned into a more stable, better paying job with far superior benefits and warm corporate environment. So - thanks for that.

Cons

Where do I start? - Upper management, especially the executive team, has no idea how to lead. They ignore pertinent and helpful suggestions because it bruises their egos. This is a business - learn from the suggestions and look deeper than just the surface. - The corporate atmosphere is one of very unnecessary chaos. Just because the company is growing does not mean you need to make snap judgments on every decision you make. Take a breath and think over the best course of action before acting on it. - I was belittled and/or screamed at consistently during my time at Riva. This was witnessed by MANY people in upper management, of which NONE intervened or even asked if I was ok (I was not).

Thank you so much for this — and for the three-plus years you gave to RIVA. Hearing that the team environment and company events stood out means a lot. We put real effort into building a culture worth showing up for, and it's rewarding to know that came through. We also hear your note on transparency around big decisions. That's something we're mindful of as we grow, and it's the kind of honest reflection that helps us do better by the people who are still here. We wish you all the best in what's next, and hope our paths cross again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're genuinely pleased that flexibility, work-life balance, and PTO have been positives for you — these reflect intentional investments we've made in supporting our team members. We want to respond to your concerns directly: On turnover: We know that stability matters, especially in a contractor environment. We've been actively focused on building longer-term engagements and clearer paths for our contractors, and we recognize there's more work to do here. On organization: We hear this. RIVA has grown quickly, and with that growth has come the need to continually sharpen our internal processes. We've made structural improvements over the past year and are committed to continuing that work. On leadership: This is the feedback we take most seriously. Strong, present leadership is foundational to the kind of company we want to be. We'd welcome the chance to understand your experience more specifically — please reach out to our HR team directly at people@rivasolutionsinc.com so we can have a real conversation. We appreciate honest feedback. It makes us better.
