Pros

remote and good benefits. Laptop is high spec

Cons

Having worked at gatekeeper when it raved about its 5 star reviews on here to then see them dropped so quickly due to the surge of people starting to speak out, i can honestly say the bad review are absolutely spot on. You will see a surge of positive reviews put on here all seemingly within the same day, so wild guess they are done by the same person or a small group of managers who are worried the bad review (real opinions that are factual and real reflections of what it now is like at Gatekeeper). It is very true that the people who enjoy working at gatekeeper are those who don't see the toxic culture and don't experience it due to being very high up or they play the game well (e.g working late, say what senior leaders want to hear, dont disagree and do as they are told) so are looked after. Ultimately Glassdoor is just people's opinions, based on their own experiences but you have to wonder when the bad ones that are all consistent with each other speak volumes. In my long experience it is a toxic cliquey cult where if you are in the inner circle you are fine, but if you are not willing to drink the cool aid and have a different opinion to the status quo, you are essentially pushed out and made to be feel unappreciated and disrespected. Being afraid of being let go is a constant issue and reviews that speak of an open and transparent environment are false. This is not what it is like at Gatekeeper.

Pros

Remote company with meetups every few years

Cons

Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re genuinely desperate. There are some great people at Gatekeeper but it’s a mess. Leadership’s priorities constantly shift, there’s constant turnover of senior leaders that each restructure everything from top to bottom as soon as they join the org, and they never commit to a clear focus for more than a few weeks at a time. Burnou's a massive problem here. Sadly, there’s a strong lack of trust from the top. Senior leadership trusts only a small inner circle, and if you’re not in it, you’re basically going to be justifying your existence on a daily basis. Your calendar and activity WILL be monitored because managers don’t trust that people are doing their jobs, even though everyone’s snowed under. Employees are pushed to be “obsessed with AI” but the reality is that AI adoption at this company has drastically increased everyone’s workload, and people are exhausted. If you're considering a job here, just note that they're reducing staff numbers and simultaneously increasing their revenue goals. Again, there are very good people here, but the culture makes it hard to thrive. I wouldn’t recommend working here without significant change
