Pros

Could be a good opportunity financially, but that's all based on luck. Ability to work remote if that is important to you!

Cons

If you end up managing a territory with little to no new opportunity you are screwed. There is no logical overarching evaluation of "what is fair" or where work has been exercised and therefore justly compensated. Constant changes in pricing/customer access models, compensation, and the quoting process. The goal post moves constantly. Currently he only way to succeed is in new logo sales, little to no compensation for successful customer management or retention. There is willful ignorance to look at growing competition in the threat intelligence field, unhappiness of current customers, and growing churn rate. There exists unnecessary duplicative internal busy work that slows the sales process to a crawl.

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.
