Pros

-The company is full of super smart people so I always feel like I am learning something new -The consulting team truly feels like a TEAM. It seems like every one is willing to share best practices and tips with other consultants to ensure their respective clients are happy and are thriving -In my experience, managers are not overbearing and don't micromanage -There is a wide range of expertise and skill sets across the consulting team (tech/coding expertise, hands-on CTI, former government NatSec or Intelligence experience, etc.). IMO, this is a significant factor in the collaborative, team-focused environment. -Really fun culture with opportunities to travel if that is of interest to you

Cons

-While the pay is OK, the base salary could be higher compared to some other cyber/threat intelligence firms. With that being said, it seems like the promotion cycle is fair and attainable if you put the work in. -Consultant bonuses are tied directly to the Sales team's numbers, despite us not having any "Sales" role outside of identifying leads or potential upsell opportunities. Kind of frustrating since it ties a good portion of our additional comp to the performance of a separate org within the company. -The product itself is solid but is also lacking in a few key features that would make it truly stand out. The product development pipeline is pretty quick, but the company would likely benefit from having more of the dev staff spread out across different countries as opposed to mainly in Sweden.

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.
