Pros
Great PTO, and the people below management are amazing. Good work life balance.
Kontras
Raptive is a trend-following company at best. They don’t innovate — the latest AI initiative (after multiple layoffs) is just a way for them to appear relevant. The head of technology is an untrustworthy, apathetic, and crass person who only cares to see numbers on a dashboard go up when it comes to productivity and work. There is no room for growth. It took an inordinate amount of time to figure out a leveling system, but it’s only there for show. The only way to move up is to leave and come back, because tech management would rather hire than promote internally. Unlimited PTO isn’t actually unlimited, in fact, it’s a “take only when truly needed” policy. You would be reprimanded for taking any vacation that was “seen as superfluous”. Product is absolutely terrible. They don’t know what a web application is, let alone how to make it better. They don’t communicate well, set unrealistic deadlines, and are bad at what they do on top of that.
