Pros

Remote work, great people and CEO is an inspiring guy

Cons

Cybsafe is a cautionary tale of a leadership team that cares more about looking and sounding good than the actual health of the business. A year of low performance and recent layoffs of good people should be ample warning signs. The CEO is an excellent guy and is very articulate, who he surrounds himself with dilutes the waters. While steps have been made to make the company more revenue orientated it feels like too little too late. They turn down interested customers because of a narrow ICP, and have a product that is struggling with direction between wanting to be cutting edge and modern but only really uses surveys and quizes . The product comes across as a nice to have, opposed to a need to have. Small total addressable market. They host webinars with interesting people but can't convince these people to actually purchase the product. I have worked for companies that claim they are rocketships, and companies that actually are. Cybsafe, despite its claims, is not a rocketship. CMO feels out of his depth.

Pros

-Leadership listens, they care, they want you to not only be successful but happy -The off sites are excellent- we have a remote first culture with 2 company gatherings per year that everyone looks forward too. -Trust and transparent environment -Product is really starting to get there- we are winning some logos and learning when we don't

Cons

-Because we are in a fast environment- things change and you might not even be aware -All the normal growing pains of a start up (goals, KPIs, quota, territories, process) we are constantly iterating-that can be tough for people

Pros

Remote, but no additional Pros.

Cons

My recommendation to anyone looking into a job at Cybsafe is simple, "look elsewhere." This place is a sinking ship, having missed sales targets quarter over quarter for years. Leadership is a bad combination of clueless, closed minded, and stuck in their old ways. Rather than innovate, they spew the same old story while the competition is running laps around Cybsafe, both in product development and market fit, making this nearly impossible to sell. The lack of pipeline and closed revenue proves this to be true. Multiple rounds of unexpected layoffs, changes in management, and lack of support, all while being micromanaged, makes Cybsafe extremely stressful to work for. Although there are some good people at the IC role, the sales leaders are as toxic as they get. Very disappointing.
