Pros

Unlimited PTO, WFH, and kind peers

Cons

The sales org is highly dysfunctional and underdeveloped at Secureframe. The CEO and founder is also the acting VP of Sales. This CEO is inexperienced when running a sales organization and is inhibiting the sales team as a whole. Only around 5% of the AEs are hitting their quota. CEO recently held a required, very intensive, in-person training session the 2nd to last week of a meaningful quarter for all sales staff. Two weeks after this training he laid off multiple AEs due to poor performance, many of whom would have had a greater chance at hitting their number if they hadn't had to attend the sales training. During my time at Secureframe the morale within the sales org was very low with a high turnover rate amongst AEs. This was mainly due to unobtainable quotas, poor and inexperienced leadership, along with broken + non-existent processes. CEO is in over their head when it comes to running a successful organization. If you're interested in working within this space, Drata and Vanta are superior choices. Both companies have a better product, offer more compensation, and actually set their AEs up for success.

Pros

- True ownership. You're trusted to run with real problems end to end, not just execute someone else's plan. - The company is doing great and the numbers back it up, which makes it easy to feel confident about the future here. - Incredible people and talent. Everyone's genuinely excited to be here, and many bring standout careers, top college backgrounds, and a network that's unmatched. - The founder is genuinely involved and understands the product deeply, so decisions are fast and grounded instead of disconnected from reality. - We stay current with AI tooling and actually adopt it, which keeps the team fast and ahead of the curve. - We ship, we see impact, and we move on without getting stuck in process.

Cons

- Fast growth means processes are still maturing. The upside is that you get to shape how things work! - The bar is high, which can feel intimidating at first, though it's exactly what makes the team so strong.

Pros

Paycheck was reliable and the office had decent WiFi.

Cons

• I spent months watching serious problems get ignored and buried because the culture punished anyone who said things were actually broken • The constant demand for positivity ensured real issues never got addressed and instead were left to fester while everyone acted like nothing was wrong • Raising concerns quickly made me the problem, so I stopped speaking up and saw others do the same just to avoid backlash • It became draining to work in an environment that demanded nonstop fake optimism while actual work collapsed in the background
