Pros

they pay well and besides that nothing else

Cons

It is important that both Sales and SDR talent truly understand what they are getting into before they accept a position with this company, 1. Culture: This is a "fear-driven" toxic culture. Senior leadership is very quick to shift blame when they are unable to close business. They are happy to throw others under the bus because this leadership does not take accountability for their failures. In short, they don't care about people. 2. Lack of Strategic Leadership: In 2021 and 2022 they went on a crazy hiring spree to increase the size of the sales org. Then in 2023 things did not go according to plan and they laid off the entire SDR team and half the sales team. Their aggressive expansion strategy was not well planned and executed. Because of this many people lost their jobs. Overall - Brinqa is a burning building right now! Get out, run far, run fast and find a better company/culture to work in.........

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. In response to changing market conditions, we recently eliminated several positions at Brinqa. We value our employees greatly and this was a challenging decision that we made after careful consideration. However, we believe it will help us improve our company and provide even better products and services to our customers. We remain committed to supporting all affected employees during this transition. Again, we appreciate your feedback.

Pros

- Strong Market Pull: Large, sophisticated customers clearly understand the value of exposure management and are actively investing to manage real cyber risk—not chasing buzzwords. - Meaningful, Hard Problems: The product addresses scale, complexity, and data challenges found only in very large enterprises. This is a tough problem space where many competitors struggle to execute. - High-Caliber, Improving Team: Talented engineers and product leaders who care about quality, delivery, and continuously improving how we build software—not just what we build. - Real Ownership and Impact: Engineers have meaningful ownership and can see their work directly affect customers, product direction, and company outcomes—especially at enterprise scale.

Cons

- High Intensity: The exposure management market is fast-moving and highly competitive, with consolidation and new entrants constantly raising the bar. The work is demanding because our customers rely on us to keep pace with an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. - Ambiguity Comes with Scale: As the company and product continue to scale, some areas are still being clarified. Success requires comfort operating without perfect information and helping shape the path forward.

Pros

Some PPL Have Company Stock

Cons

I do not. This is a company that is living in the shadow of something that never really worked. THe software was designed for pushing and pulling data, NOT cybersecurity. And, it shows. This place is in total disarray and makes working at Target feel viable.
