Pros

- Really smart colleagues that are all willing to help - Excellent managers who want to see you succeed - No office politics - A solid, meaningful, and impactful mission (to disrupt cyber adversaries) - Comfortable office w/ snacks & the regular lunch - Good benefits - Open culture striving for diversity of thought and approaches - Very flexible schedule; if you need the time off, you take it and don't feel guilty- no questions asked - Lots of transparency from all levels of management - Managers, directors, and C-suite are all very accessible - High (but attainable) expectations in terms of ownership, responsibility, etc.

Cons

- Pay is a little lower than expected (especially for the expensive/high-cost-of-living markets in which employees are required to live). This is both in terms of salary and bonuses - Remote work isn't fully rolled out yet - Job titles don't entirely match the work you do (but this is being actively addressed and is only the case because of the fast pace at which the company is progressing)

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.
