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

From day one I was treated as a real contributor rather than just an intern. I had genuine hands-on exposure to enterprise cloud environments supporting actual clients across Microsoft 365, Citrix VDI, VMware vCloud Director, and Mimecast. The opportunity to lead a knowledge base quality assurance project for a company-wide ServiceNow migration was a career highlight. Several colleagues were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in my growth. The work is meaningful and the technology stack is impressive.

Cons

Manager engagement with interns was inconsistent. Communication around intern performance, expectations, and potential full time opportunities could be more structured and transparent throughout the program rather than only at the end. Interns are left to figure out their standing largely on their own which can be stressful especially when the internship is coming to a close.
