At Rapid7, we’re pushing the boundaries on what a cybersecurity company can be as we work to build a more secure digital future. In a field where the threat landscape continues to evolve, continuous learning and the development of our people becomes an engine for company success and innovation. With more than a dozen offices around the world, Rapid7’s culture provides a foundation where people can grow their skills and progress in their careers, while driving meaningful impact to the business.
We sat down with three Rapid7 team members from different departments, and across our global offices, and invited them to share more about their own career growth and development. Through the experiences of Vladislav Pavlovski, Manager, Website Development, Courtney Cronin, Account Executive, Commercial, and Daniel McGreevy, Senior Technical Support Engineer, we see a consistent emphasis on teamwork, support from managers, and recognition to fuel career trajectories for Rapid7 employees around the world.
How Rapid7 Managers Support Career Growth
A prominent aspect of Rapid7's culture is the accessibility of leaders and the strong mentorship opportunities available. When stepping into a leadership role to relaunch the company website, Vladislav Pavlovski highlighted how his director, Victoria Krichevsky, helped him balance development work with coordination responsibilities.
"Her feedback helped me realize that I didn’t have to do everything myself — that success meant enabling others as well,”
Vladislav said.
“Her support helped me connect the dots between day-to-day execution and longterm vision and made a big difference in how confident I felt navigating this new territory."
This exemplifies how leaders at Rapid7 provide guidance and support that go beyond task management, focusing on broader growth.
“When I eventually moved into the Website Development Manager role, it was not only the result of the work I put in, but also the outcome of having strong, intentional support from someone who believed in the direction we were heading. That experience really shaped how I think about leadership and mentorship today,”
he said.
For Courtney, her manager also played a direct role in helping her prepare for a promotion opportunity from Sales Development Representative to Account Executive.
“I had the opportunity to meet with each of the Commercial Sales Managers to sharpen my skills as a future AE. We focused on roleplays, reviewed enablement on our products and services, introduced negotiation strategies, and refined my presentation skills. That level of investment in my development from both my current manager and the team I was looking to grow into made a huge impact, and I’m grateful for how collaborative and encouraging the team was during that transition.”
Courtney also shared how she values learning from her manager’s career growth as a woman in sales.
“I take full advantage of having a manager who started in the same role, especially as a woman in sales,”
she said.
“She understands the challenges firsthand and has been a huge influence in building my confidence. I make the most of her experience by asking for advice, learning how she navigated similar situations, and applying those lessons to my growth. Her journey and success show me what’s possible to achieve here at Rapid7, and I’m grateful to have her as both a mentor and a role model!”
Vladislav also noted,
"Leaders are accessible, and there’s a real openness to ideas from any level. It’s not about titles — it’s about potential and contribution."
This approach makes employees feel valued and encourages them to take ownership of their development.
Collaboration as a Catalyst for Growth
In addition to support from leaders, Rapid7 works to create an environment where employees can seek encouragement and guidance from peers and cross-functional partners when faced with challenges.
Daniel McGreevy started at Rapid7 as an apprentice and leveraged the expertise of his colleagues to grow his own capabilities and progress through his career.
“Working with our Technical Support experts across multiple products, and getting feedback from Support Engineers helped improve enablement across Global Support and really impacted how I approach solving complex challenges,”
he said.
Additionally, he shared how collaboration with product management and engineering teams impact product releases and ensure support is ready and equipped to assist customers effectively.
“By collaborating with different teams across the business, we’re able to improve how we service our customers while gaining additional context on the business, our products, and the goals and objectives of each of the teams we partner with and how it contributes to our bigger company initiatives.”
Incorporating this holistic view has played a role in Daniel’s progression into a Senior Technical Support Engineer.
For Vladislav, leading the launch of a new website was a significant career milestone, but what he says he’s even more proud of was the collaboration and partnership between various teams to get it over the finish line.
“The website launch was a huge project with high visibility and complex cross-functional alignment,”
he said.
“We created a space where everyone felt safe to contribute, ask for help, experiment, and make mistakes. We built trust between team members, and when people are not afraid to challenge ideas and share concerns, that openness drives better outcomes for everyone.”
