Pros

Super passionate employees, friendly and fun place to work, great perks (snacks, swag, events, etc), and development opportunities for those who seek them out. Flexibility with work hours/schedule/ability to wfh is also a great bonus. The product has a unique place in the market which sets up the company for great future success. Casual atmosphere and managers who generally let you find your own work style and run with it.

Cons

Like any growing company, nothing is perfect. Not a lot of diversity in the employees but it's something the company is aware of and trying to improve. The startup vibe isn't for everyone, and the casual atmosphere can sometimes come across as less professional than I'd like to see in some situations (although I like to think the intelligence and enthusiasm of the employees makes up for it). there are definitely growing pains, but the upside is that if you recognize and issue and bring it to the right people, you can become part of the solution and see actual change happen.

Pros

-Good salary, but the benefits could improve, especially 401K.

Cons

Where to begin? Recorded Future has become an absolute mess of a workplace, particularly on the go-to-market side of the business. The sales team lost a huge percentage of its highest performing reps last year and constantly turns over management. Sales/marketing ops has lost so many people it almost doesn't exist at this point. Marketing has lost its best ICs and several key leaders. The GTM org is hobbling along, completely bereft of actual leadership, and with expectations so out of touch with reality, you'll start to wonder if anyone upstairs has ever led a revenue org before. Exec leadership is a mess. Several execs are needlessly, unproductively combative/unkind and provide their departments with little support. For some reason, RF is viewed by leadership less as a software company and more as an unofficial branch of the military/intelligence apparatus, with an unnecessary degree of unsmiling seriousness applied to everything. This culture of beating down employees has resulted in the departure of nearly every top performer that was holding most crumbling teams together, resulting in a pace of movement so glacial, you'd think you actually ARE working for the US government.
