Pros

These pros are past tense. Now everyone is running scared and lacking their former confidence and poise. It was a great place to work. Did really cool work and built great products - strong emphasis on customer service. The positive is the potential exists - but is not tapped into.

Cons

Don't put the cart before the horse. Recent emphasis is on dollars (fine), but not at the expense of building/launching the right product. Going public will make things worse - not better. Granted a few folks stand to make some nice bank, but in the long run it will damage if not destroy the company. History makes no compunctions about its lessons.

Dear current DigiCert employee, You are correct: The times are changing. And DigiCert leadership is working to determine a path forward that helps the company to grow and evolve to meet changing needs. We acknowledge that these changes are not all comfortable. Employees like yourself who have been with the company for many years may feel apprehension about changes, but leaders have spent a lot of time explaining the directions and decisions. We invite you to reach out to members of the DigiCert People Team to learn more about the changes and to ask any questions you have and provide all the feedback that you have. Your voice and opinion matter to us, and we look forward to working with you to ensure DigiCert remains focused on its customers and employees as we move forward. DigiCert People Team

Pros

DigiCert has an amazing culture with a ton of great people who are always willing to collaborate and band together to achieve a common goal. I feel I have the tools, support, autonomy, and resources to succeed in my role and make a positive business impact.

Cons

There is definitely areas of opportunity when it comes to building for scale and breaking down operational silos as DigiCert continues to grow as an organization.

Pros

I have loved my team and manager since day 1. I stay because DigiCert continues to provide me with professional development opportunities. I began as a file clerk and now manage a team doing complex operational efficiency work. They supported me through an MBA and each year I take at least one course and attend at least one industry event to help expand my skill and reach. The pay is average, BUT when you add in the value of the above-average benefits, the total remuneration package is great.

Cons

DigiCert is owned by Private Equity. If you have not worked for a PE portfolio company before, it means they focus solely on making money and stripping out what they deem as fluff (which I deem as retention levers, like company parties and swag).
