Pros

While the exec team is younger than most, I've found them to be refreshingly growth-minded and thoughtful. They take feedback seriously, and then make changes where necessary. I'm happy to be at a company that is devoted to building something truly enduring and it's refreshing to be working with a CEO who is focused on the long game as opposed to someone who is entrenched in the short-term hype-cycle. I found my recruitment to the company to be unique and curated. I had the opportunity to work from Radar for a few weeks before ultimately deciding to come here and the fact that I left here happy every day was a huge indicator for me. Their investors are top notch and meaningfully support the company/exec team. It's a pleasure to be able to work with technologists that are building tech at the forefront while working with an exec team that is focused on building an enduring company and culture - not just another flash-in-the-pan startup.

Cons

The ratio of junior employees to managers has been lopsided, but the team has acknowledged this and is actively working to change it by leveling-up managers and recruiting more senior folks.

Pros

Incredibly smart and thoughtful coworkers and leadership that are willing to take the time to explain difficult concepts. The level of coworkers pushes me to do my best work. Leadership is very transparent about the company which is refreshing.

Cons

Being such a nascent industry means things can change on a dime leaving employees to adjust very quickly which is not necessarily a con for a certain kind of person.

Pros

RADAR has been a great place to work! My previous role was with a large corporation, so I was hesitant to make the switch to a start-up, but it’s been an amazing year! PROS: The management team is always available and truly cares about the success of not only RADAR, but also its employees. The management team takes time during all-hands and the offtreat to celebrate victories. For me, the best thing about working at RADAR, besides the excitement of being on the frontier of new technology, is the work/life balance and flexibility to manage my crazy life as a working mom. RADAR offers weekly remote days and flexible schedules.

Cons

CONS: Working on the operations team has been a challenge as the company matures past the start-up stage, but every challenge has been embraced, and the company is moving forward because of it.
