Pros

Decent location, to be fair. Easy enough to get to on the train, plenty of pubs nearby for a pint after work, and the airport's just down the road if you're travelling. The office itself's nice enough, and you'll meet some genuinely good people along the way.

Cons

Honestly, it just felt like a bit of a game. If you were in management's good books, you were sorted. Promotions, opportunities, plenty of praise. If you weren't, you could smash your targets every month and still feel like you were one bad meeting away from being out the door. Everything was about culture, values, and all that, but it only seemed to apply if you agreed with the people at the top. If your views didn't quite line up, you got the feeling it was probably best to keep your head down. There was always loads of talk about strategy and vision, loads of polished presentations, but not nearly enough focus on actually fixing the problems everyone could see. It often felt like selling the story mattered more than delivering the result. Don't get me wrong, there are some brilliant people there, and I learned a lot. It just wasn't an environment where I felt I could be myself or build a long-term career. That's only my experience, of course, but if someone asked whether I'd go back, it'd be a polite "No thanks."

Opportunities exist, but the culture is highly political

Pros

BeyondTrust provided meaningful opportunities to work in a fast-growing cybersecurity company, take on significant responsibility, and build experience during a period of rapid expansion. There are talented employees throughout the organization, and the company’s growth can create opportunities for people who have strong internal sponsorship.

Cons

The culture can be highly political and relationship-driven. Advancement often appears to depend more on visibility, internal alliances, and proximity to senior leadership than on performance, experience, or subject-matter expertise. There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes positioning, gossip, and credit-taking. Employees may receive support publicly but encounter very different behavior privately. Trust between peers and leaders can therefore be difficult to establish. Some senior HR leaders appear more focused on managing upward and maintaining favor with the executive team than on advocating for their employees, challenging poor decisions, or providing candid leadership. Employees should not assume that strong performance or loyalty will result in support when difficult situations arise. The organization also has a tendency to place people into roles before they have the experience required to perform them effectively, sometimes seemingly as a cost-saving measure. This can leave inexperienced leaders making major decisions while more qualified employees are overlooked. The result is inconsistency, weak accountability, and leaders presenting confidence without having the operational knowledge to support it. I also observed behavior that could feel dismissive or chauvinistic, particularly when strong women challenged decisions or advocated directly for themselves. These behaviors were not always addressed consistently.

Pros

- Team dynamic is great - Educational time - CEO seems ok (never met her) - Work/life balance is decent (unlimited PTO)

Cons

- Decent pay but it's not on par with the rest of the industry - Not a lot of opportunity to move up (too many seasoned people) - Fully remote (would love for it to be a hybrid role) - They got rid of our internet expense (right after raises) - Some leadership can be petty and bring you down
