Pros

Good mission and good pay

Cons

Extremely high stress environment that only cares about one thing and it's not you. I was fired in less than a year and it was a relief when I did. One good friend and absolute super employee burned out and quit in less than it took me. The people I know still there live in fear of losing their jobs. It's no way to live.

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.
