Q&A With Rapid7 Employees

Great base pay.

it's fair!

2-4 hours depending on the role and requirements.

Energetic, friendly, casual, fun, fast-paced, caring

The products and engineering office in Kendall Square is simply amazing and the best place I've ever had the joy to work. Quiet and focused during the day. Standing desks available if you like. Most have earbuds in throughout the day. Leaders are on the phone all day but generally take calls in private so as not to disturb the rest. There are several meeting rooms for small or large groups with beautiful views of the Charles and Boston. Of course there are all the free snacks and cold and hot beverages of you could want. Eng. and others tend to walk to somewhere local to pickup lunch and come back to eat together. After business hours some like to get together for drinks in nearby East Cambridge. When the weather is nice you may find others playing a round or two of Spikeball or some other fun activity. Once a week we do a lunch & learn with topics from sailing to quantum physics to making (and tasting!) hummus. All are smart, driven, nice and a pleasure to work with.

Unwelcoming

It's inspiring

Volunteering opportunities with the whole company and small groups builds strong esprit de corps.

The people

New challenges and smart co-workers.

There is a high amount of diversity.

Product first mindset all the way to the top.

They are transparent

Corey is extremely well-respected, accessible, down-to-earth, and most importantly, inspirational.

Corey is doing a fine job navigating the challenges of the market and moving the company towards profitability. There have been some missteps along the way, but the core of the business is resilient.

People generally work hard, but it's because they are passionate about their work and the company. There is unlimited free vacation and flexibility, but you do need to have a strong work ethic.

Good, people are dedicated and work hard but they have work from home options plus unlimited vacation. Management is understanding as long as work gets done.

It depends on what you do and what you ask for, but generally around market rate.

Poor below market

Purely based on politics. Performance has no effect on promotions in the HR Dept

Relatively secure, the private sector is only as secure as your contributions and network. The company is not shy about addressing underperformance, but will try to work with employee s

Solid interview, not as technically challenging as other companies. The culture part of the interview is always on point.

It can vary, but it is very possible. The company takes employee health and possible burn out seriously.

It can fluctuate, but it always seems positive. The company and the product are doing well. We want to overcome the competition.

I feel good And sure that I am contributing to the company's future success.

Have a narrative that aligns with the company's values. Study up on core skills.

Nice, collaborative and willing to discuss issues.

What makes you comfortable.

For tech, there is a phone screen and then a multi-panel in person interview. At least to technically driven panels.

The team is pretty relaxed as long as you consistently meet your responsibilities and deadlines. I usually work 40-45 hrs/week and am able to get everything needed plus injections done in that time.

I genuinely look forward to go to work every day and learn from brilliant team members and a leadership team that advocates for my individual advancement and my team's collective success.
