REDspace

Caters to recent college grads and young people mostly. Has some nice perks (free snacks/coffee), however lacks an understanding of proper software engineering practices. Basic practices such as design, documentation, peer review, refactoring etc Do not exist. Software Development Life Cycle bare frameworks exist as an afterthought. No training provided. You'll be a resource that gets allocated from one project to another on need basis, so expect to be moved around suddenly, dropped in a new project and expected to give estimates and finish work on time because that project is behind and needs help.Although its a small company, there are a number of projects running around, mostly either to IBM or Nickelodeon. Cross-technical help/interaction between different project members non-existent.  There is a "cool kids" club running the show and if you're not one of them, you'll have a hard time growing and being successful. Relative low pay and management is less than stellar. They do have a small gym and a TV/console fireplace which can offer a thread of socializing in the midst of all that chaos, so that's something.

REDspace is a custom software service and consultancy company with a diverse client base and types of projects. To thrive at REDspace you have to show initiative and take ownership of projects. If you're not someone who wants to be challenged and focus on learning new things every project REDspace probably isn't for you. Career growth exists for those confident in themselves and who don't forget the point of a business is to make money not just be a fun place to build things. This is why you see such mixed reviews. Sometimes people feel privileged by the perks, flexibility and light-touch management styles often used. They forget they were hired to make the company money and when they are reminded about this they take it personally. By taking your role seriously, giving your tasks full attention during work hours, and focusing on doing what needs to be done to make your project succeed you can be rewarded well at REDspace.

A very flexible work-life balanced working environment, the company specializes in many client-focused projects creating customized solutions, engaging with a wide tech-stack community with varying levels and breadth of skillsets to meet each and every client needs. The working environment and management were very welcoming to diversity and was an incredible experience of heartwarming community helping you pick up new skills when not engaging with the client. Learning something new was the enjoyable part, seasonal downtime was the hardest part as there was no work available.

REDspace puts people first. You can see that yourself starting from the amazing office they built and continue to expand. REDspace is an agency but don’t be fooled by that. Unlike other agencies REDspace has phenomenal culture to make sure you are part of the family. They go above and beyond to make sure you progress not just on technical level but also make sure your mental health is at its best. The executive team spends lot of time to make sure each and every team members voice is heard. 

Technically this is where you need to be, there are lot of smart and compassionate folks that you will have a very steep learning curve over the years. You will work with some amazing clients that never makes you feel like a contractor. The two big clients that I worked for always made me feel like I am part of their team which is the level of relationship REDspace has built around client as well.

Aside from the chance to work with many big name clients and a variety of interesting projects, REDSpace treats everyone as a part of a family. Additionally, REDSpace provides the opportunity to work with many different technologies and tools that will help you career grow and skill set expand quickly.

Redspace is a wonderful place to work and a perfect company for anyone who is thirsty to learn as there is a great attitude here in order to be updated as the new technologies grow everyday. 
There are a lot of opportunities and many talented employees that help each other to grow together in a very friendly environment. 
I am happy for being a member of Redspace family that cares a lot about its employees.

I don't remember much about being here except that I was put on an incredibly under-scoped project while receiving the lowest dev pay available, and had to put in a lot of unpaid overtime for months. When I was at the end of my rope and constantly saying how i would like some recognition, help, or compensation, I was told I could take "half of next Friday off."

1. The salary is not particularly appealing.
2. Working culture and colleagues are friendly and supportive
3. Benefit quite good
4. Projects came from IBM/CNN/Pluto TV etc... so most of the projects required you interview again

It is a best place to work for a learner or experienced as we can learn good things here with a wonderful team around supporting all the ways they can. It was wonderful playing around with work and sport activities.

REDSpace has around 200 employees located in Halifax. I learnt a lot about data analytics in this company. Worked on different projects at this company, and I liked the employees attitudes and way of working.
