Pros

Flexible working. Autonomy. Excellent benefits (that 401k matching amirite?). Top shelf healthcare coverage. Best culture experience of my career. Leadership are very committed to the culture and have proactively put people and processes in place to keep it scalable.

Cons

Amplifying what some others have said, transforming the world's largest bureaucracy can be challenging but your team will have your back. Startup culture means rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in a lot of places in the business. So if you want a role where you can be a champion for other projects, this is for you. If you want that corporate silo lyfe, Rise8 isn't going for work for you.

Pros

- focused on shipping mission outcomes and real results to the customer, what we are doing actually matters. I feel fulfilled because I can see the results of my contribution. - professional development is huge at Rise8, they'll invest in you. They'll pay up to $3K per year for you to take courses, certificates, etc anything to help you do better at your job - culture/team in any area of Rise8 is fantastic which is rare. Rise8 has an A Player policy. Everyone I have worked with is passionate, competent and kind. - I believe in the C-suite team at Rise8, I am on board with the vision and mission of the company

Cons

- no equity - work/life balance. In general what I've seen are people who prioritize work/life balance are usually mediocre at both. It's a start-up so work/life balance isn't as prioritized

Pros

10% 401k match Remote work

Cons

Very bro-y culture — people in leadership aren’t really qualified as it’s just heavily referral based from the same type of backgrounds like Pivotal/VMware/Kessel Run. Claims to want to transform the government yet only fast tracks and hires people from said gov-type companies.
