Copying over my comment from the EA Forum version.
I think it's great that you're releasing some posts that criticize/red-team some major AIS orgs. It's sad (though understandable) that you felt like you had to do this anonymously.
I'm going to comment a bit on the Work Culture Issues section. I've spoken to some people who work at Redwood, have worked at Redwood, or considered working at Redwood.
I think my main comment is something like you've done a good job pointing at some problems, but I think it's pretty hard to figure out what should be done about these problems. To be clear, I think the post may be useful to Redwood (or the broader community) even if you only "point at problems", and I don't think people should withhold these write-ups unless they've solved all the problems.
But in an effort to figure out how to make these critiques more valuable moving forward, here are some thoughts:
I'm also guessing that there are some low-hanging fruit interventions that external red-teamers could identify. For example, here are three things that I think Redwood should do:
These are three examples of interventions that seem valuable and (relatively) low-cost to me. I'd be excited to see if your team came up with any intervention ideas, and I'd be excited to see a "proposed intervention" section in future reports. (Though again, I don't think you should feel like you need to do this, and I think it's good to get things out there even if they're just raising awareness about problems).

An anonymous user named Omega posted a critique of Redwood on the EA Forum. The post highlights four main areas: (1) Lack of senior ML staff, (2) Lack of communication & engagement with the ML community, (3) Underwhelming research output, and (4) Work culture issues.
I'm linkposting it here, since I imagine some LW users will have thoughts/comments. See also this comment from Nate Thomas, and note that Redwood has an anonymous feedback form.
Standard caveat that I don't agree with everything in the post or even endorse its main conclusions; also see my comment.
