Pros

The only good thing about Secureframe is work from home. That is it. Everything else is a complete disaster. **I genuinely wish Glassdoor allowed negative stars because even one star is far too generous, Also**

Cons

From day one, even week one, you are expected to perform at full speed with no real ramp-up. If you do not immediately contribute at an unrealistic level, you are labeled a low performer. I personally went through a significant personal loss during my time here. Despite this, after only eight weeks total, with just two weeks of reduced performance, I was laid off. Why even hire people if you are going to throw them away instantly? I went through four technical interviews including assessments plus two managerial rounds. Six rounds. Weeks of preparation, time, and energy. And after all that, I was fired within eight weeks. They lie about work life balance. They say nobody works after 5, but the workload is insane and the expectations are never ending. PST timezone completely dominates everything, so if you are not in that zone, good luck having a life. You are expected to always be available, always stressed, always online. The culture is deeply unhealthy. Favoritism and cliques drive decisions rather than merit. People are fired frequently, creating constant fear and instability. Team leads and managers are highly inexperienced and often act emotionally rather than professionally. The workplace is filled with negativity and apathy. Instead of collaboration, people pull each other down. During my short tenure, the number of different managers I reported to was staggering, which clearly reflects internal chaos and high turnover. The 4.5 star rating is a joke. It is clearly padded by HR and leadership. Do not believe it. Talk to former employees if you want the truth. This is not a startup dream. It is constant stress, fear, and instability. Leadership is egotistical, insecure, and refuses to grow. Rage firings are normal. Quiet quitting is everywhere. Unless this is your absolute last option to survive financially, avoid Secureframe. Six interviews just to be discarded in weeks. This is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. Any negative feedback is immediately dismissed and blamed on “competitors,” instead of being taken seriously. It is easier for leadership to invent enemies than to accept responsibility.This defensive behavior only highlights how insecure and disconnected leadership is from reality.If a review is positive, it is accepted. If it is negative, it is labeled fake. That says everything.

There have been no senior software engineers let go in a long time. We can only conclude this review is from a competitor.

Pros

I work with a great team of Account Executives and have amazing support from the VP of Sales. The team is talented, hard working and it is an absolute pleasure getting a chance to work with them every single day.

Cons

This truly is the best team I've ever had the chance to be a part of. I can't think of any cons.

Pros

Medical benefits include you and your dependents.

Cons

- Stop wasting time here unless you are truly desperate for work. You will regret investing your effort in this place. - There is no real job security at all. - Management can terminate people on a whim and hand out rewards based purely on mood and unpredictability. -Mental stability in leadership feels questionable and the instability directly affects everyone's job security, making the entire environment feel unsafe and unreliable.
