Pros

Talented people. Meaningful mission and unique product. The Mastercard sale has brought an influx of professionalism into the organisation.

Cons

SVP leads through fear and control instead of collaboration. High turnover as employees gradually see that things haven't changed. Smart and capable people work here but the marketing department has become a unhealthy place to work. The result is confusion, rework and a team that's on edge. People try to stay invisible — no one wants to draw attention because her behaviour can be cutting and brutal. She's made people cry in meetings and most people try to avoid getting noticed. The same attitude has spread to her senior leaders who manage reactively. Morale is low and plenty are looking for new jobs after seening repeated HR reports go nowhere. It's a shame because this could be an incredible team inside inside a growing company.

Pros

-Good salary, but the benefits could improve, especially 401K.

Cons

Where to begin? Recorded Future has become an absolute mess of a workplace, particularly on the go-to-market side of the business. The sales team lost a huge percentage of its highest performing reps last year and constantly turns over management. Sales/marketing ops has lost so many people it almost doesn't exist at this point. Marketing has lost its best ICs and several key leaders. The GTM org is hobbling along, completely bereft of actual leadership, and with expectations so out of touch with reality, you'll start to wonder if anyone upstairs has ever led a revenue org before. Exec leadership is a mess. Several execs are needlessly, unproductively combative/unkind and provide their departments with little support. For some reason, RF is viewed by leadership less as a software company and more as an unofficial branch of the military/intelligence apparatus, with an unnecessary degree of unsmiling seriousness applied to everything. This culture of beating down employees has resulted in the departure of nearly every top performer that was holding most crumbling teams together, resulting in a pace of movement so glacial, you'd think you actually ARE working for the US government.
