Pros

There are pockets of people who work really hard to make the company and products better.

Cons

Difficult to know where to start. The main issue at present is the quality of the executive leaders starting with the new CEO. He is an empty suit full of Harvard and Amazon cliches roleplaying as a sales and marketing guru. The CRO is extremely unlikable and spends almost no time with employees or customers. The systemic issue is the favoritism that exists all over the organization with company loyalists getting put into positions well above their capabilities. This is the case in sales and engineering with long time employees in cushy roles they are unqualified for. More talented leaders from outside the company were pushed out because they were not as agreeable as the loyalists. The company would rather hire and retain mediocre but loyal employees than those who bring new ideas or challenge long held beliefs.

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.
