Pros

* Really cares about people (seriously) * Flexible in finding ways to utilize employees unique talents, rather than putting them in a "box" for the hired role * Very open and transparent company- accepts input and recommendation from anyone, regardless of seniority, and open to making changes to improve * The sense of purpose here is phenomenal. Everyone I work with legitimately believes in the mission and takes pride in the work they do. It's incredibly rewarding to be so exposed to the front lines of cybersecurity and watch clients strengthen and become more resilient to cyberattack. * Can be fully remote! Which was very effective during the pandemic and allowed us to grow during that time rather than downsize.

Cons

* Been a startup for a while, so some small growing pains as the company expands

Pros

Pay was good and unlimited PTO

Cons

In my experience, there were consistent challenges related to leadership communication, clarity of vision, and transparency in decision making. Changes were often made with limited context provided to employees, which made it difficult to feel aligned with the direction of the organization. Decisions affecting teams appeared unclear or not well explained, contributing to uncertainty and reduced confidence in leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We genuinely value hearing from current and former team members - it helps us grow as an organization. Transparency, clear communication, and making employees feel informed and valued are areas we take seriously. We've made meaningful investments here, including more structured all-hands updates and dedicated channels for recognizing team contributions, but we know there is always more work to do. We recognize that changes without sufficient context can create uncertainty, and that's not the environment we want to build. Feedback like this helps us stay accountable to that standard. Our door is open, and we hope anyone with specific experiences or suggestions will feel encouraged to share them directly with leadership or through our internal feedback channels. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you well.
