Pros

- Work from anywhere on your schedule. - Great benefits: full health; unlimited vacation; decent pay; 401k matching - Interesting market that is relatively new - 3 different parts of the company loaded with experts in ICS cybersecurity

Cons

- Culture is very passive aggressive; very little direct resolution of issues - Some people work hard while a large portion of the company freeloads; managers and C-suite aren’t willing to make the hard decisions and fire the toxic employees - Overly involved C-Suite that won’t enable the company to do the things they’re hired to do and are more experienced at doing (improving but slowly with new set of VPs) - Lots of silos of information and no effort to bring the teams together to work collaboratively - Pointing fingers and not accepting responsibility is endemic - Playing favorites seems to be very common, especially by the C-Suite

As companies grow we all experience some level of growing pains. Hopefully with some of the new VP's settled in and an environment always open for feedback, hopefully these concerns have since subsided.

Pros

PTO, flexibility, Remote, Good Pay, Amazing Coworkers, Mission Driven You get out as much as you put it. If you want to deep dive then you can.

Cons

Lack of internal processes and procedures, still very startup vibed and you need self direction. There are deadlines and work and its up to you to self manage as you won't be micromanaged. Sometimes workload swings from 50-60 hour weeks to 20-30 hour weeks due to scheduling and project management. Work Life balance can be difficult because if you are a yes man you will get overloaded.

Pros

- Company mission is very focused and on-target for success. Don't see the company as a short term play. - Technical community is very focused, knowledgeable and qualified in executing the technical aspects of what has been asked of them. I would definitely categorize the company a very technical in focus. - In general, employees are treated very well and valued.

Cons

- There is a high level of turnover at the senior management level. In the 1.5 years that I was with them, there were 3 different CRO/VP of Sales, 2 CFOs, 2 HR Heads and many more positions that changed. Shows the immaturity of the CEO in running the organization if they can't hire and retain the right people. - While they are trying to maintain customer satisfaction, they struggle with how to accomplish this. They just now appear to be listening to the customer, but are slow to turn this feedback into actionable plans. - Given the highly technical focus of the company, the product is very hard to use which is why there is heavy reliance on selling services to actually run and use the Platform. Some strides have been made in the last 6 months with regard to product usability, but there needs to be more customer input to this process.
