Pros

The trajectory and greenfield available to Recorded Future right now truly makes coming on board a once-in-a-career opportunity. It’s clear that leadership is self aware of their growing pains and are taking active measures to address them. Leadership also seems so aligned in a way I have never experienced at other companies. No company is perfect, but there are new upsides uncovered with every quarter. The products and services are continually enhanced, and the individuals who work here have some incredible talents with impressively diverse backgrounds. This is both an exciting industry to be in, and a perfect inflection point of the organization to join in on. The CEO acts like a fearless leader, and as such has my confidence. I will always prefer honest feedback over softball handholding, and respect him all the more for it.

Cons

Culture is evolving and communication and collaboration is more as-needed than it is abundant. I don’t see this as a true con, it just puts more responsibility on the individual to be ‘outgoing’ and build relationships.

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.
