Pros

Fairly compensated, attainable targets, benefits, and work/life balance

Cons

Extremely volatile. Lack of direction now that we can't get acquired, haven't IPO, and can't get funding in recent round. Laid off 30%+ employees from Nov. 2025- May 2026. RUN- sinking ship!

Thank you for your three-plus years with BigID. We won't minimize the difficulty of the past several months — workforce reductions are hard on everyone, including those who remain. These decisions were made to position the company for sustainable growth, and we remain focused on executing against a clear path forward. We're grateful for the contributions of every person who has been part of this journey, and we're committed to building something our team can be proud of. If you'd like to share more, our People team is always open to a direct conversation.

Pros

Product quality has significantly improved over the years. Scanning every type of data for sensitive elements is hard. Rare the product loses in head to head fair evaluations.

Cons

Market has been negatively impacted by competitors spending way more $ to buy influencers like CISOs & Resellers.

Pros

Seen as a leader in their space

Cons

The impression I got is that they were in panic mode looking for investors or a buyer and there are concerns about other AI tools closing the gap to make them less distinct in the market. Recent massive layoffs only reinforce this idea to me.
