inally sitting down to write a statement regarding all the recent discourse surrounding RQ. This is a statement I am writing and releasing for myself. No one at RQ has pressured me to write any of the following, nor altered my words in any way. First, I want to talk about the allegations that RQ is mistreating employees. These experiences are my own, so please do not imagine I am speaking about any other specific case or anyone else’s story. ... Read more

It’s heartbreaking that some people try to see the worst on the surface without understanding the depth and real people behind the shell. RQ does their best every day with what they have. Even when it’s not a lot, I have never seen a team pull together as this one does.

This, in my experience, is true of the company culture in general. ... Read more

I’ve been working for Rusty Quill since August 2019, over three years now. Time and time again I’ve been blown away by how fortunate I am to be working with them. I love my colleagues both past and present; I’ve found nothing but support from everyone as I’ve navigated growing as an amateur audio editor, as a student, and as a person. I won’t claim that Rusty Quill is perfect — there have been hurdles and there have been mistakes. ... Read more
