Pros
- The most valuable part of working at Cyberhaven is the opportunity to collaborate with incredibly smart and dedicated individuals. The collective passion and talent of the team have been a significant driving force in my journey here. - Cyberhaven fosters an open and transparent culture where regular feedback is both received and given, promoting continuous personal and organisational growth. Teams are highly collaborative and always willing to support each other — often organising brown bag sessions to dive deeper into topics that could benefit everyone. - As a remote-first company, Cyberhaven offers great flexibility and a strong work-life balance. - Leadership is approachable, supportive, and growth-oriented. They prioritise adaptability, embrace mistakes as learning opportunities, and are willing to pivot strategies when needed. - With the company and product still in a growing phase, there are abundant opportunities for ownership and career growth. People are encouraged by managers to take responsibility of their career growth instead of relying on the manager, which I feel is a very underrated quality. Passion and capability are valued over years of experience — I personally got to lead three major initiatives despite having just a few years of experience. - There are gaps and tech debt, but we are trying bridge those using AI and have started initiatives to address them. - Cyberhaven is embracing AI at every level — not just integrating it into the product but also using it internally to enhance developer productivity and stay ahead in the industry.
Cons
- Being a remote-first company, communication challenges can sometimes slow down the pace of work compared to an in-office environment. - Working remotely can occasionally lead to feelings of isolation and a lack of regular social interaction. - As Cyberhaven continues to grow, some processes and principles are still being developed or recently introduced (for example, team metrics were formalised only recently). - There's currently no structured system in place for regular in-person team interactions, which could help foster stronger collaboration and personal connections.
