The stressful environment isn’t scalable

Pros

Coworkers are genuinely kind and supportive. Many are empathetic, thoughtful people who unfortunately seem to be taken advantage of for those same traits.

Cons

Every day at RapidScale feels like some kind of fire drill, and leadership rarely acknowledges what employees do to keep things running. The culture is driven by fear, not trust. Leadership promotes “empathy” and “transparency” but acts in the opposite way. Examples: Recent RTO policies reportedly threaten disciplinary action, even termination, if employees don’t come into the office three days per week. Allegedly, “Exceptions for illness and emergencies must be communicated and approved in advance.” Earlier this year, mass layoffs happened with no communication or acknowledgment from management, which destroyed morale and made it clear that employees are viewed as disposable.

Pros

Coworkers are great, even though we are all frustrated and not heard at the executive level (as demonstrated by the recent pattern of bad reviews). I would give culture a higher score but I truly have no clue what the company's values are. I have worked for companies way, way larger and been far more connected to the ethos and C Level than here. Same Is true for smaller companies.

Cons

I think the recent bad reviews represent employees frustration with mandates and strategic decisions that seem to have not taken into account the actual work of employees or needs of customers. Some recent decisions even contradict each other. Some have been executed, involving lay offs with no clear plan or communication for coverage leaving employees set up for failure.

We're surprised and saddened to hear that your experience doesn't reflect that. Organizational changes can be challenging and stressful. We want you to know that we care about our employees and aim to support our people through any transition. We will share this information with the leadership team, but we also encourage you to discuss your specific concerns with your manager and/or a trusted mentor so that we can work toward improving your experience as soon as possible.
