Rapid7 Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Clear targeting and payment on a booking basis.

Review from Sales Dept

The best part in my compensation package is salary.

Review from Sales Dept

The generous holiday opportunities provided.

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

Health, vision, and dental insurance for me and my dependants.

Review from Design Dept

Salary is in line with the market, there is a good pension and share scheme

Review from Marketing Dept

It's balanced and highly competitive -- the fact that we give RSUs is extremely beneficial.

Review from Sales Dept

RSUs when they appreciate in value.

Review from Sales Dept

401K match is subpar, hasn't changed in 6+ years. Healthcare is also only partially covered.

Review from Product Dept

Uncapped commission is the best part about our comp package.

Review from Sales Dept

uncapped bookings compensation for sales

Review from Sales Dept

I really like the commission tiers and stock options.

Review from Sales Dept

RSU is the biggest benefit by far.

Review from Sales Dept

That it is a combination of multiple streams, cache, RSUs and target bonus

Review from Engineering Dept

The flexibility and RSUs are very impactful

Review from HR Dept

The stock options and 2x accelerators.

Review from Sales Dept

The whole package is excellent. I have a job that compensates me well, takes care of my future medical and financial wellbeing, and I have equity in the company. This checks all of the boxes for me.

Review from Sales Dept

it is a fair package with an attainable quota

Review from Sales Dept

The best part of my compensation package is the ability to double my commissions after I hit my quota

Review from Sales 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.

Review from Engineering Dept

higher compensation. can make significantly more at other top tech companies

Review from Engineering Dept

At this moment where we are all working from home - the electricity and internet bills have raised and perhaps some incentive for this would be nice! And when we are having a bad day or challenges with customers - surprise vouchers for lunch will be motivating during lockdowns!

Review from Business Development Dept

Other companies pay almost twice as much for similar roles. No stock program in place. Our office gets 0 attention from senior leadership and nothing has changed about it in 3 years.

Review from Business Development Dept

We are SO FAR away from the market rate for our industry. As people move up in the org the pay rise is based on what the individual was earning in their previous role, rather than paying them at the market rate for their new role. There is not enough transparency around comp.

Review from Marketing Dept

There is a clear trend of people that are part of the office clique getting promoted easily, whereas for others it's promise after promise but nothing but "delays" and more bureaucracy.

Review from Engineering Dept

I think more conversations regarding compensation would make me feel better. I've never negotiated compensation with Rapid7, but instead was just told what they would offer me. Giving some room for negotiation would at least make me feel heard.

Review from Operations Dept

I know for a fact that I am undervalued. If they paid us as engineers what other (most) companies value us as.

Review from Engineering Dept

I think more money would make me feel better...?

Review from Finance Dept

I feel as an entry-level employee, I'm being tasked with initiatives worthy of a higher level of pay. My pay is not commiserate with the work and value I'm providing.

Based on the work I am doing I feel as if a bit more compensation would not go amiss but I am content.

Review from Product Dept

Would have loved the ability to negotiate pay
