Pros

- Some really smart and excellent people still here - Cyber industry is exciting to work in - Working with hackers is cool - Decent salary package and benefits - Remote work - Little to no micromanaging - Decent work-life balance - Casey Ellis is GOAT

Cons

- There has been no product innovation since I joined - Company is slowly allocating less and less resources to operations. The people within this team are overworked, underpaid and stressed. Our customers, as a result, are suffering. - The company has no clear strategy - The product has little to no differentiation - Leadership is questionable - Recent acquisition that went nowhere - Recent lay-offs - Inner circle at the top - No growth or career opportunities to move up - Unreasonable sales targets and expectations Overall I've seen a steady decline since new leadership under Dave Gerry. I suppose the goal for this leadership is to sell the company and get a nice pay out for the inner circle as well as investors.

Pros

Some amazing people, but not many left.

Cons

Cracks began to appear a couple years ago. The start of 2024 saw those cracks deepen and rot start to appear. Executive leadership has taken things off a cliff. There are a couple of good people but they're surrounded by incompetence of the highest order. The company grew too fast in last few years and it's obliterated the culture. Good, hard workers are exploited and those who drag their feet are just left there to drag others down. There's no accountability are the higher levels and decisions are made with no concern for the operational capacity to deliver. Executives demand changes without consulting those who actually make it happen. It's literally the equivalent of demanding that your head chef puts Gatorade on your prize winning salmon dish and then getting angry at them when customers send it back. They've taken a company that had so much promise and was such an amazing place to work and just thrown it in the toilet. The HR system to determine pay ranges is a joke - they calculate it by using incorrect roles from the rest of the industry in order to artificially lower the scale. Proper compensation and increases is out the window. Worked your butt off for them? Congrats, here's your jar of spit. As far as they're concerned you did the bare minimum job. Doesn't matter that you literally delivered the work of 3 people. There's people there delivering 400% of their KPI's and being told that their workload is fair and they're overpaid even when they're underpaid by $20-$30k. These weren't my roles I'm reporting on, these are other people I watched get screwed. Meanwhile other's deliver 20% of their KPI's and management won't even talk to them. The UK executive leadership they brought in was a cancer that has spread. Unless they cut it out, the company is doomed.

Pros

Some really great people in the engineering teams across the world. Australian teams have a particularly friendly culture.

Cons

Continued bad bets made by executive team means 'restructuring' and layoffs are frequent. No transparency or consulting during the strategic decision making process means product development teams are order takers only. Product Management doesn't exist here anymore - it's just project delivery.
