Pros

The recent Mastercard acquisition should help the team pick up some momentum on the sales side. As with any company there are people and leaders there who care deeply and are great to work with.

Cons

Constant pressure cooker amidst constant change. Feels like something is being reinvented every year making it hard for teams to get momentum and hard for individuals to really dig in and grow. I get the sense this varies a bit based on department but the GTM side of the house is a rough place to be right now. Long term incentives are lopsided and favor a select few.

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.
