Rapid7

Good people, good environment, used to have some good technologies, still does if you can find them with tweezers.

Generally nice place to work, and sad to witness its slow-motion decline since 2023.

• Total lack of product management.
• Lack of interest/reward/motivation for anyone who wants to actually solve complex product problems for customers. Anyone with a track record of that has left or been laid off.
• Lots of architecture, lots of Java. If you are horny for setting up Kafka topics, looking at meaningless Grafana dashboards, you will go far.

Unfortunately, "sucking at doing layoffs" is not a badge of honour if you end up letting go of all the people with decades of deep understanding about customer needs, and how products solve or don't solve them.
