Pros

Remote first company is the only pro

Cons

Salary below average, 'family friendly' spiel is a joke, most perks are smoke and mirrors, as is the product, as many customers have found out.

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
