Pros

Strong, positive culture is always front and center. Salaries and benefits are very competitive. Leadership listens and always make us feel empowered to do what we were hired for. There's always opportunities for growth and profit-sharing from various products we offer or contracts you bring in yourself. Lastly, overall super fun (remote) atmosphere, with great coworkers to learn from, all while practicing true Agile and DevOps!

Cons

Not a con, but you have to love the civ-gov tech space/working on critical mission projects to understand the occasional hurdles and your impact to feel fulfilled–I love it!

Pros

- focused on shipping mission outcomes and real results to the customer, what we are doing actually matters. I feel fulfilled because I can see the results of my contribution. - professional development is huge at Rise8, they'll invest in you. They'll pay up to $3K per year for you to take courses, certificates, etc anything to help you do better at your job - culture/team in any area of Rise8 is fantastic which is rare. Rise8 has an A Player policy. Everyone I have worked with is passionate, competent and kind. - I believe in the C-suite team at Rise8, I am on board with the vision and mission of the company

Cons

- no equity - work/life balance. In general what I've seen are people who prioritize work/life balance are usually mediocre at both. It's a start-up so work/life balance isn't as prioritized

Pros

10% 401k match Remote work

Cons

Very bro-y culture — people in leadership aren’t really qualified as it’s just heavily referral based from the same type of backgrounds like Pivotal/VMware/Kessel Run. Claims to want to transform the government yet only fast tracks and hires people from said gov-type companies.
