It is a great team of people, who strongly believe in what they are doing.
Review from Sales Dept
Willingness to change for the better of the team.
Review from Engineering Dept
They consistently choose to do the right thing over the easy thing. They make space for everyone to have a seat at the table. And they are always striving to do better.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leaders must be accountable for bad choices (acquisitions, financial planning, talent retention and acquisition strategy). I hear very little accountability from senior leaders at Rapid7. Prioritization and capacity planning are non-existent at every level of the company. Take responsibility.
Review from Product Dept
Promote based on ability, not on personal liking.
Review from Engineering Dept

Clear targeting and payment on a booking basis.

Review from Engineering Dept
Competitive (base, variable, stock options)
Review from Operations Dept
Having stocks, means that in order to get the best return of investment with the stocks, gives me the ability to care about the company, our customers and our investors in order to drive the share price up for me and everyone else
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Rapid7 is not as competitive salary wise compared to other tech companies within the cybersecurity space
Review from Sales Dept
The work life balance is not good. Seems there is a push to "make it work" but when we voice concerns over long-term improvements to make our lives easier, no one seems to listen or allow us to make the necessary changes with the necessary resources.
Review from Customer Success Dept
The market is red hot. Almost everyone can leave make way more - what are we doing to retain talent?
Review from Marketing Dept
I believe compared to market salaries I could get paid more fairly
Review from Engineering Dept
Salaries tend to lag where the company aspires to be. Equity as comp has only been worth it recently.

That OneMoose culture, of team spirit, always willing to lend a helping hand (regardless of how busy we all are) is something that separates Rapid7 culture from other internationally operating companies.

Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
some changes in the leadership needed especially in my department. Lack of respect for Work-life-balance and dictatorship
Review from Operations Dept
faster decision making, less red tape/bureaucracy, clear understanding of OKRs from the top down and how teams can incorporate them into their goals.
Review from Sales Dept
9 box. It encourages managers to put all their employees in pre-defined career projections or "boxes". It is terrible. Nobody wants to be in a box. It means some employees get unequal opportunities for growth while others are left to languish. At least, I assume it is 9 Box causing this.
Review from Customer Success Dept
More collaboration between engineers at other offices
Review from Engineering Dept
promote faster rather than when someone tries to quit.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
The recruiter was always up for questions and openly shared interview feedback
Review from Engineering Dept
an opportunity to meet many team members you will work with
Review from Operations Dept
Interview process is very relational, not standardized or formal in any way. This works well for some people but not for some others.
Review from Product Dept
Recruiters were so helpful and I was kept informed throughout the process. It was quick - it didn't drag on but I also felt like I had met enough people to get a feel for the role and the culture of the company.
Review from HR Dept
The Panel! , I had the chance to speak to different teams and get an idea of the company culture.

The opportunity to solve tough problems
Review from Engineering Dept
Team members I am working with every day
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
A lot of us don't feel set up for success right now. The business keeps investing in more sales people as our main growth strategy, without putting in place the support functions to make the whole thing work. Our systems and data are weak. Customers find us frustrating and inflexible.
Review from Marketing Dept
As a technical contributor, I have no purpose at R7. The only REAL career path is into mgmt. If I want to do technical work, have career growth, there is nothing at R7 for me. For a company selling innovation and tech solutions, R7 doesn't care much about its technology or experienced tech staff
Review from Customer Success Dept
