A Place to Learn and Grow - Senior Security Engineer Cequence Security Employee Review

Dynamic, high-growth environment at the forefront of API security. You’ll get first hand exposure to new emerging threats every day, wear multiple hats, and learn fast alongside a welcoming, globally distributed team and hands-on leadership. Perfect for those who are deeply curious, driven by innovation, and crave impact.

If I felt there were cons worth mentioning I wouldn't be here still.

Work from home. Technology is interesting but usually gets kicked down the road with clients or is viewed as a subset feature of a waf or edge network.

Leadership has to change! There is absolutely no vision nor strategy and this is clearly due to the council up top. The CEO has no clue as to what Cequence should be. Started out as bot company, then API, then back to bot focus all the while dropping out of every major 3rd party analyst review and magic quadrant. Reps are left reeling to educate and defend against competitors when even the resellers don’t know exactly what we do. High high high turnover at every level! Logos churn so they continue to downsize every 6 months. SEs are spread thin, shift from US focus and UK to Middle East, logo chasing almost thrashing to move the needle. Platform is unstable and at times feels like you’re selling snake oil. Competitors are crushing them and leadership refuses to acknowledge this. No BDR support, 1 channel manager supporting several countries, maybe less than 3 reps in US now. It’s literally a circus at this point.
