Rapid7 – R7 has bought into the idea that the sizzle is more important than the steak. It's ultimately disappointing to me. I don't want to be delivering sizzle. I want happy customers eating steak. The last few years seem to have all been to get the stock price high while hollowing out the company. | Comparably

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Transparency on how they make decisions. Willingness to re-evaluate past decisions.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Extremely decent people, even outside of work I would want to know them.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Overall compensation (base pay, bonus, health care match, etc.) is competitive. Health care options are above average imo.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

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.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

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
