Software Engineering Manager Interview Experience - El Segundo, California
Process
They reached out to me via a recruiter.
But there was constant "confusion" with their (in-house) recruiter.
She missed the times we had scheduled for a call and failed to respond in reasonable times to get things figured out.
She had a "junior" title but still, the coordination seemed very unprofessional.
Possibly they didn't think I was a strong candidate, but why did they reach out to me and start the conversation in the first place?
We had so little discussion that certainly they couldn't have heard something that they didn't like yet.
It was weird.
Anyway, on to other opportunities without much looking back.
Questions

Rapid7 Work Experiences
- 4.0Top notch place hires top notch people for a great experienceLead Quality Engineer • Former EmployeeEl Segundo, CaliforniaDecember 4, 2015Pros: Rapid7 is a great place to work. Lots of really sharp developers, smart testers, and a great atmosphere. The business folks understand the security industry and the company invests in its technology appropriately. While I was there, the company went through a lot of growing pains. But they've come a long way and I really enjoyed my time there.Cons: The company has some dramatically shifting priorities while I was there. I worked a lot of extra hours and missed out time with my family. This was especially hard because my salary was under market for my role there. In the end, though, the team I worked with and the people I worked with and the work I did and the things I learned really made it worth it.

Very intense environment almost like a startup, but most everyone shares the load. Great product, good name to have on your resume and they are growing very fast.
