Pros
As a boomerang employee who left and came back after a year, this company has grown greatly. - Upper Management has gotten the right people into Manager and Director level positions. - The vision of where the company wants to be in terms of both internal workings and financially are lofty, yet attainable goals. - The company has not lost the small company feel of caring about the employees and being able to build friendships across the different teams. - Consistently challenged to think in new ways to solve complex problems and tackle massive projects. - Benefits such as time off, insurance, 401k, pet insurance, and more are all outstanding given the backing of Cox. Most other companies don't come close. - The culture is great. The people you meet in the office or at company events are always friendly, always willing to help when asked, and always great for a good laugh.
Cons
There are very few "cons" to working with RapidScale but here are some that might be useful to people. - The work can be grueling. One of the main mottos of RapidScale is "work hard, play hard" and we do not shirk the responsibilities of the "work hard" part. Depending upon your position, it can definitely be closer to 50-55 hour work weeks on average. Could you leave at 40? You could but most do not because they genuinely care about their jobs and the customers. - A lot of changes are happening which can cause stress and frustration for employees trying to do their jobs. This is the growing pains of a company and are normal but as the company name suggests, the company is rapidly scaling up. And while we are growing for the better, it does mean an almost constant state of change and a constant state of growing pains.
