Good experience - Backend Developer Rapptr Labs Employee Review

Rapptr Labs offers the opportunity to work on innovative, award-winning apps for a variety of industries. The team is highly skilled, collaborative, and always pushing the boundaries of technology. Leadership fosters a culture of learning and ownership, making it a great place for career growth. The company also embraces modern development practices and tools, ensuring engineers stay ahead of the curve.

The fast-paced environment can be challenging at times, especially when juggling multiple projects. Some processes could be more streamlined to improve efficiency.

Some good coworkers, got to learn a lot here! Pay on time, though salaries were nothing special.

Project assignments and mentorship fell along racial lines: people of color were consistently handed the most hidden, highest‑risk tasks with razor‑thin deadlines, while white staff received the new‑feature work and customer‑facing projects. Performance reviews felt biased and opaque - POC who produced results were always passed over for promotions in favor of less productive colleagues who matched the preferred profile. I was directly told to discard resumes with ethnic‑sounding names and to prioritize “the culture fit,” a thinly veiled excuse for excluding diverse applicants. Meetings frequently included casual racist remarks and negative assumptions about competence. The informal networks that drive advancement were closed to anyone outside the "inner circle". I left because I could not have a future at a company where discriminatory policies were treated as normal.
