Thank you for taking a moment to provide feedback from your time at Recorded Future.
With our exponential growth we know this can create challenges that impact your workload. We don’t want this to be an ongoing, unresolved issue. We encourage Futurists to work with their manager and HR to discuss solutions to help better manage the workload.
We do offer a 401k employer match, and will look to improve our communication around it to ensure Futurists know it’s available to them.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.

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.
