Pros

Recorded Future is on a rapid growth trajectory. Many of the rockstar employees hired before the acquisition event have stuck around, which indicates they've been treated well and expect even bigger things to happen in the future. This bodes well for new employees! The product and the related teams are both going through a pretty exciting and transformative phase. While tough, there is an incredible amount to learn and great opportunities for growth. ** Response to COVID ** Recorded Future continues to provide flexibility in how to best balance life, work, and COVID. As someone who goes into the office when it is convenient, there really is no pressure to be in-person at all. While in the office, ALL employees are respectful and take COVID seriously.

Cons

Rapid growth means there are less veterans and more newbies, lots of process development, and lots of repetition. At times it can feel as though the transformation is making us move slower not faster. The product transformation means the sales teams need to essentially speak multiple different languages to talk to multiple different use cases. This is a common challenge but a challenge for the teams nonetheless.

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.
