Pros

Intelligent people and good teams to work in. Flexible working Company growth and expansion

Cons

A lot of privilege and entitled white people who wrongly have a lot of say in people management and get jobs and promotions on the basis of who they know rather than quality of the work. Individual treatment to retain certain people rather than equality practiced. Management are not empathetic unless it will impact revenue or them directly. Diversity is questionable in relation to authentically moving forward with their agenda since the person running and driving this has left. It has exposed where the energy and commitment was coming from. Senior management are able to continue in roles where teams are unhappy with their leadership and sometimes bullying tactics. EQ of management is low. Differing treatment of individuals depending on region. Unreasonably demands of performance in recruiting where managers should be stepping up. HR undermined by inexperienced managers. Feels like a popularity contents rather than being acknowledged for doing a good job.

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.
