Pros
I worked for RapidScale previously for around 3.5 years and loved everyone I worked with. I left to pursue other career opportunities but there's nothing like leaving a good thing and shortly realizing the grass isn't always greener on the other side. During my previous tenure, I was able to make lasting relationships with upper management and fellow employees that I missed greatly when I left. I felt and feel that I am accepted as an individual and am praised for what I bring to the table. The work life balance is also great. I feel stress free when I clock out for the day. Also, the benefits are next to none. There has been a lot of change lately with acquisitions, but I do believe they are keeping us informed as to where they see the integration of the companies going. It's the tech space, so there's always something to do but I don't feel like it is the wild wild west of tech since we're backed by a family owned company that really invests in their talent. On another note, the position/Cox is hybrid but flexible within that model and they really emphasis you putting yourself and needs first (within reason). I have enjoyed greatly their "flexible PTO" schedule, as I feel less stressed about asking for time off since it is already freely given. I would say since we're a tech space that it's still very male dominated but we have amazing female leaders who can hold their own and are great to work alongside.
Cons
Some bad hires recently in upper management have been making waves but overall has been manageable, so far.
