Pros

Fast-paced work environment similar to a breaking newsroom Team atmosphere within domain experts cultivates strong relationships and friendships outside of work Multiple female managers which is rare for a technology company Opportunities for advancement upwards and to transition to different areas of the company for domain experts who go the extra mile Shift work allows for good work life balance with little work outside of shift hours Ample vacation days (to compensate for possibility of working on holidays) Good office perks including free lunch, snack room, cold brew, la croix Professional development money per year Great healthcare

Cons

Weekend and holiday shifts are required Changes from upper management can come at times without much advanced notice to the DE team C-suite executives do not interact with domain experts

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
