Great coworkers and learning opportunities, but underpaid and overworked. - Detection Engineer Cyderes Employee Review

Having worked in the cyber security industry for the last 6 years at multiple companies, my experience at Cyderes has honestly been one of the best of my career. When deciding whether to join a company, it really comes down to the quality of the people within the organization. I’ve had the opportunity to meet the CEO and leadership across multiple practice groups, and I have only positive things to say about my interactions with them. During my time here, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside transparent, professional, and genuinely kind individuals, which has made my experience at Cyderes worthwhile. I’ve been in environments at past companies with poor leadership, micromanagement, unkept promises, and a lack of transparency, so it’s refreshing to be part of a company that continues to grow while still valuing its people and creating a positive culture around teamwork and development. At the end of the day, every company is going to have ups and downs as things change, priorities shift, and the business grows. That’s just a normal part of any company trying to scale and evolve. For me, what really matters during those times is the people you work with and the culture around you, which has made all the difference in my overall experience.

I have no negative comments about Cyderes.

Cyderes has brought in strong senior leaders and executives over the past year, and that has created real momentum. If you like change, building, and helping bring more maturity and scale to an organization, this is a very good place to be. The company moves fast, gives people meaningful autonomy, and expects people to own their work but accountability is increasing and not all like that type of environment. The culture is increasingly centered on talented, humble, driven people who want to build something better. It also feels like leadership is investing back into the company and its people, which was reinforced by bonuses being paid this year.

Cyderes is not the right fit for everyone. It's a higher-accountability environment, and that can feel intense for people who want more structure, slower pace, or less change. The company is still evolving, so some processes, communication, and clarity can vary depending on the team. If you do not like change or being pushed to perform, this probably will not feel like the right place. But for those who thrive in that type of environment, it's a fun place to work!
