Rapid7

Like my coworkers a lot and managers are pretty good, just not supported to get anything done. I think the security space is cool and probably going to keep growing in general, there's a lot of investment in startups and solutions. ESPP used to be good, but stock has lost so much value that it's not worth investing in anymore.

Still good for people out of school, lots to learn and there's no expectations or requirements (besides "you must be in the office") so if you can negotiate a fair salary it's a great place to start for a year or two.

Really bad company leadership, the executive team got on a town hall meeting and told everyone they weren't serving customers because they were not in the office, and mandated that everybody go back three days a week at least.

They sound desperate and defensive, most of the company has been remote since 2020 and now they're blaming employees for customer retention problems and product issues.

Very weird, the most tone deaf series of communications I have ever heard from execs that don't listen to employees.

Customers not renewing and many escalations from angry users, salaries not at market and pressure to "be positive" when many people are leaving or being fired.

They are prompting attrition and not back hiring while saying "we won't do layoffs."

Bad strategy, bad communication, not likely to stay afloat.

Avoid.
