Pros

Raft is growing quickly and truly attempts to hire the best talent. Raft is engineering first and engineers typically make more than managers. Benefits are great. Medical, dental, and vision premiums and deductibles are covered and there is a small annual bonus for tech gadgets, etc. They give you a buddy to help new employees integrate and seem to always be looking for ways to improve the work culture. Bonuses for referrals and conference involvement.

Cons

Employees can become isolated within their projects if they don't volunteer to participate in other projects or cultural activities. Annual raises are low and average 0-3% with little, if any bonus. Upper level annual salary increases go up to 5% with $5k bonus for top performers. The emphasis on work culture seems disingenuous at times and promotion potential is limited. No equity or profit sharing. The company is willing to take all the effort you are willing to give but perhaps without influence on your pay.
