The best of time before the decline - Anonymous employee Redbubble Employee Review

On behalf of Martin Hosking, CEO Firstly, thank you for taking the time to provide us with direct feedback. I can assure you it is listened to. We do accept that we have outgrown the San Francisco office and have addressed this. We are expecting to move into a new, much larger office by mid-year which will be able to immediately accommodate a further 50 people with room for further expansion. I am not sure your views on the strategy are representative and our commitment to a longer-term orientation has not changed since IPO. The strategic focus goes well beyond new products and I think accounts for Redbubble’s continued strong growth rates. Looking at the situation holistically, morale in the US office is in fact the same (or indeed slightly higher) than morale across the company, which remains well above industry benchmarks. So at least some of your discontent seems related to your specific circumstances. I do fully accept that we did restrict alcohol consumption in the office as being incompatible with our values and creating an inclusive culture. Finally we have not in any way seeded reviews. Employees are as entitled to post positive reviews, as they are negative. - Martin
