Pros

If you're reading this, it means you're considering a position at Rex. There are a few pros: if you are good enough, Rex will hire you even if you don't have direct industry experience. They do spend the time to vet people: ability, fit, etc.

Cons

Please please please read the other less than positive reviews, I would say they paint a fairly accurate situation. Things I wish I asked during the interview process: - what are projected financials for next year, what assumptions? - what are key metrics? - what is the funding situation like? THEN go back and evaluate how the company has performed on a continual basis. Other considerations: - If you're in a good spot right now, push for more pay. Assume equity will be worth NOTHING (you get a dismal amount of equity given how early stage the companies are at, but the base could be sufficient, risk vs reward) - You might get more responsibilities, but it's far more bureaucracy than you'd expect from a 'startup'. - Be sure you have a contingency plan if things go south (and they will). Can you go back to your old company? Can you do something else? Do you have savings to dip into?

Pros

Rex has all the right footholds for you to grow and excel. Brilliant minds and a shared passion. Rex stands out among the other jobs I've had. You are surrounded by THE best talent. Teams are structured well and teammates truly care and share the same passion and vision.

Cons

Not your normal 9-5. Have to be willing to go all in and devote the hours necessary. There are pivots and changes. You'll need to be flexible and roll with the waves as they come.

Pros

Rex offers tons of opportunity for those willing to dream big, create their own path, and roll up their sleeves and work hard. It's a dynamic work environment with hyper-speed execution and lots of pivots/learnings. The org is flat so the red tape is minimal.

Cons

For those who require significant structure and direction in their work, Rex is not the place for you. It really takes the self-starter type who is comfortable figuring things out, making mistakes, and being creative/entrepreneurial. If you fit the mold, you'll love the place. If you don't, you may be miserable.
