Pros
There was a ton of energy heading into 2023, with a plan to take share from their largest competitor. To accomplish that, OneSpan went on a hiring spree, especially for enterprise sellers and SDRs. Those of us that started during that time were sold on a three year plan with 2023 being a year of pipeline growth and sales. So a lot of good and talented people were hired and the buzz was strong.
Cons
OneSpan pivoted from their plan and laid off most of who they hired at the beginning of the year. Top line growth was no longer the top priority and the company shifted to a profit margin focus- which means a lot of people were let go. Despite being laid off, I'm not bitter at OneSpan- these things happen. I would just warn others that are looking for a solid employer to look elsewhere. If top line growth is not the priority, then more lay offs might be on the horizon and career growth will be limited. It just feels like a business without a rudder.
