Pros

- The company is made by the people, and in general, all the workers are very nice and helpful. They’ll welcome you and help you. The major pro at SecurityScorecard is the people. - They also offer PTOs, and they’re really unlimited. In general, you can take whatever days you want to; no one is going to judge you for it. - Depending on your manager, the deadlines are going to be reasonable and achievable.

Cons

- Sadly, the major pro is also what the directors and C-levels mostly ignore. Layoffs are very, very common. The overall mood is that you’re always afraid of losing your job, and it can happen for no reason. Sometimes they want to start a new project or cut some costs, and they cut people randomly—not based on performance or reviews. Your manager won’t have an answer for why you’ve been fired. - The salary is lower than the market. - Bonuses are not clear, and nobody really knows when they earn 100% or less. - Very often, the owner of the company doesn’t really care about his words, and he can be rude in company meetings, to everyone. The overall mood in the company is one of fear when presenting something if the owner is in the meeting.

Pros

SecurityScorecard has smart, hardworking people, and there are real opportunities to take on meaningful work quickly. If you are someone who can operate independently, solve ambiguous problems, and move fast, you can have a lot of impact here. There are also pockets of strong cross-functional collaboration, especially among employees who are genuinely trying to keep the business moving despite constant change.

Cons

The biggest issue is leadership instability and inconsistent operating discipline. Priorities change quickly, ownership is often unclear, and too much critical work depends on a small number of people rather than durable processes or properly staffed teams. There is a pattern of asking employees to absorb more scope without the resources, authority, or support required to execute sustainably. Decision-making can feel reactive instead of strategic. Different teams may push overlapping initiatives without clear alignment, which creates confusion, duplicated work, and unnecessary political friction. There is also a tendency to reward urgency over planning, which leads to burnout and makes it difficult to build systems that last. Communication from leadership often feels disconnected from the reality of day-to-day execution. The company talks about transformation and innovation, but the internal operating model does not always support that ambition.
