Great engineering culture
Great engineering culture
There are some really bright people to work alongside, and the stock can pay off at higher levels.
The base pay is relatively poor. Even with RSUs, compensation can be dwarfed by other companies of similar engineering talent.
Promotion(s) can also be arbitrary or based on a lot of game playing although this isn't limited to Rapid7.
Anyone in middle management should find out what other managers are paying their staff. Also take notice of how people outside of your team(s) are performing for reference. Too many managers seem ignorant of all of this and good people are being overlooked.
