Pros

Food and cab …and thu fri work from home.

Cons

​The Onboarding Reality I joined three months ago with high expectations, but the reality is a stark contrast to the interview process. Management talks a big game about AI cybersecurity products and "strategic renewals," but the actual day-to-day is a soul-crushing, manual grind. You aren't a specialist; you are a human workaround for a subpar CRM and a set of disorganized, broken processes. ​Extractive Culture … It became clear very quickly that this is an extractive environment with toxic director and managers . Even though Renewals is touted as the company's most profitable arm, the team is treated with incredible cheapness. We do the heavy lifting,securing the price uplifts and locking in multi-year contracts,only to watch the Account Executives walk away with the commission. You generate the wealth, but you aren’t allowed to share in it. Management attributes the massive turnover to "better opportunities," but after 90 days of seeing how this team operates, it’s obvious that people aren't moving to something,they are escaping from here. At least 20 people fled this team in the last year alone. It’s not "natural attrition"; it’s a mass exodus of people choosing their mental health over this toxic, BPO style management culture. Ive heard people here get promoted only on the basis of politics not performance. Individual contributors turn associate managers overnight without any managerial experience. Its a funny place! ​ The leadership here operates with the mindset of a high-pressure loan office rather than a modern tech organization. If you are a job seeker, ask the hard questions about attrition rates before you sign. I’ve only been here three months, and the lack of direction and respect for the team's effort is already loud and clear

Pros

Marketing team wise, there's definitely a culture of hiring marketers who are team players. One of the best pros, everyone on the marketing team genuinely will lean in and get things done. Most are very personable and very likable.

Cons

Marketing leadership The entire marketing leadership team is inexperienced and it very much so shows. They don't provide much guidance if any, and the amount of "go figure it out" attitude for the middle management layer is insane for a company of Rubrik's size. This team values quantity over quality at all costs. The answer to everything is let's boil the ocean and the cascading effects of that strategy have everyone in marketing on edge. Marketing leadership has created a culture at Rubrik where they've made marketing the scapegoat across other departments, all while the marketing team is severely understaffed. Marketing can never push back against other departments (product, sales, partner teams) against any ridiculous requests. Anytime ANYone from an outside department say anything remotely negative about marketing, with or without context, it's considered a "no-no" and its not long before that marketer is pushed out. Raises, promotions Next to IMPOSSIBLE in marketing. Rubrik thinks they are big tech. They don't give promotions on titles. Countless people leave as a result. All middle management at Rubrik would be a level up basically anywhere else given their scopes. Pushing employees out of the company The amount of push outs at Rubrik is insane. In my tenure there, there were countless high performers across multiple teams, who were high regarded and rewarded in year 1, then pushed out in year 2. Some former employees have sued and won. The culture for Rubrik here is awful, they treat employees terribly unless you're in the legacy Rubrik club that still wants the company to act like a start up. Newsflash, you're a public company, start acting like one.
