Avoid this company. Product doesn't work and CEO lies continuously!

Pros

The team (except management) is talented and works well together. People watch out for each other and stick together, mostly because of the toxic environment the CEO has created.

Cons

The product simply doesn't work. Overly complicated and poorly designed. The CEO is a micromanager and extremely misleading when it comes to the business and future of the company.

Thank you for sharing this, especially as a former member of our team. It means a lot to me that you still care enough about Armorblox to speak out about your past experience. I'm glad that you found some great people, and we hope friends, during your time as a member of the team. While our customers do feel that our product is exceptional, your review outlines a different picture. I am disappointed that our channels for feedback at Armorblox did not work for you. I would welcome the opportunity to listen and learn from your experience with Armorblox and improve the experience for others within the company. I do hope you will reach out. - DJ Sampath, CEO

Pros

Great people. Great culture. Great pay. Great product. Senior management transparency and accessibility. Happy customers.

Cons

Content Marketing has had a turnover of 3 people within 6 months, with the previous manager quitting largely due to burnout. I do not suggest accepting the job unless you are fully expert in the entire scope of the job, a SME in cybersecurity and expert at the over 20 programs you will need to do your day to day job...plus endless amounts of processes, spreadsheets, Google docs and missing source files with very little help or guidance from the manager. Good luck getting all of your job functions done during normal business hours...there is no way around working nights and weekends. Upon telling my manager repeatedly how burned out and stressed I was, I was given 5 more things to do every single time, and given a list of changes for existing projects. And those changes were always questioned and criticized by other co-workers which led to projects that never ended. Overall company culture was great but was nonexistent in marketing. It was start the meeting, have the meeting, then onto the next meeting with zero mind paid to actually creating a cohesive team on a human level. I was repeatedly told I was doing great, in spite of being worried that I wasn't picking up the entire scope of the job fast enough. I even received a card in the mail telling me how great I was doing just 2 weeks before being let go (after only 60 work days) . Absolutely the worst job experience I ever had and I cannot recommend the Content Marketing Position due to lack of leadership and inevitable burnout. The rest of the company is fantastic though and I do recommend working at Armorblox.

Thank you for sharing, I agree, this is a fast-paced start-up where we move quickly, adapt quickly and use feedback to grow. I’m deeply disappointed to hear that you feel we tend to overuse people. I’d appreciate the opportunity to have a candid discussion with you about your experience here, as we have been genuinely committed to caring about our employees through our People progams from Day 1. I take all feedback seriously and welcome additional feedback about my management approach so I can continue to be better. - DJ Sampath, CEO
