Q&A With Revenue River Employees

They do background checks, but not drug tests.

They do background research but not a traditional background check and no drug tests.

No on drug tests, yes on background checks

Our marketing team puts the "I" in innovative.

Very. Enough said.

Extremely. Constantly on the cutting edge of technology, internal team function, and how we approach the concept of inbound marketing and sales as a whole.

We are allowed 2 work-from-home days a week, which fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Flexible, which is great! Most of the offices works from home 2 days a week.

That is kind of a hard question to answer. We are constantly changing our internal structure, roles, and processes. We don't really see people getting promoted in a formal sense, but people do adopt new roles/responsibilities with internal changes.

1-2 weeks

1-5 days. Revenue River is very quick

Casual

There isn't an official policy. Generally, mothers are allowed to take some time off work from home for the first few weeks after giving birth. The mothers I know took around 2 weeks off. There is no paternity leave.

2x a year

You can get access to dental insurance options through Revenue River's plans. They are not covered by the company.

They are pretty baseline. Whatever the minimal legal requirements are for a company our size.

Be obsessed with Stephen Covey

Minimal health insurance plans with a small co-pay.

Most questions were centered around whether I was a good cultural fit. Design-specific questions focused on UX understanding and strategy.

Very helpful! My design team is awesome.

We don't have an HR department

By creating SMART goals at the beginning of each year and having our team make similar goals with an achievement plan to contribute to them. Progress is monitored and reported on weekly.

Strong organizational and management skills. You need to be comfortable working directly with clients, managing projects, and balancing design work with agency busywork.

We haven't had any of those yet. Yay us!

The learning opportunities for technical skills and professional growth are fantastic. With that said, there isn't a lot of room for advancement yet within the company and salaries are lower than average for designers on the Front Range.

Openness, coachability, strong communication, and willingness to be always learning.

More affordable healthcare options

Ask lots of questions and take notes on everything. One of the challenges you'll find is that we are constantly changing and you'll encounter a lot of written processes that haven't caught up yet with how we are actually running things. If you are confused, don't be afraid to ask for help. It wont look bad on you at all.

Layoffs are handled gracefully. In fact, no one has ever been laid off. If someone is not a good fit, management lets them know and supports them as they find their next opportunity. In the only instance of this that I've witnessed, management let an employee work part-time, remotely, for almost three months while they transitioned to a different position elsewhere.

There's a lot of potential for career growth here. Not in the traditional sense, in that the next steps are laid out for you, but rather in that we have the opportunity to grow our positions as the business scales up. If you find an area of expertise that you want to expand into something even more robust, you can literally create your own position (as long as you've put some serious thought and planning into it).
