Pros

Rapid7 has a genuine dedication to learning and experimentation. The company is still a genuine meritocracy, good ideas come from all places and new thinking is an essential element.

The company is growing, both in terms of number of people, in knowledge, and in the scope of problems we are able to take on.

Cons

For better or for worse, you have to be a fairly self-motivated person to succeed here. This isn't like joining some 10,000 person enterprise where a 3-month on-boarding program provides you with all the on the job training you could imagine.

You learn by doing, just like everyone around you.

Advice to Management

Stay the course. You can't assume that everyone is equally committed and willing to work hard, but the cream rises to the top.
