Pros

Remote work was nice, as well as unlimited PTO

Cons

Massive layoffs nearly every quarter. You are always on the chopping block, no matter how well you're performing. It's not a matter of "if" but "when" you'll be unceremoniously cut off from all computer access (yes, that's how you find out if you're one of the fired workers). Then the CEO will tell everyone this decision had to be made to ensure the company's success, and he'll promise no more layoffs are coming. Next quarter: Rinse & repeat. Working at GoGuardian nearly guarantees you'll be unemployed within three years. This company is only barely staying afloat by convincing the investors they're making money via massive layoffs.

Pros

The product is fundamentally good. The cause is fundamentally good. The people you work with directly are great. Because the consumers are primarily government entities it is a very stable business model.

Cons

Management has no respect or concern for people who work here. Employees are disposable and there has been at least one layoff each year for the past three years. This usually is presented as “we didn’t have the right team” or “plans didn’t work out” and the usual cut and paste explanations. In spite of being told the company is very profitable, raises did not happen for a while and the most recent one is barely a cost of living adjustment. Promotions have also not happened and many people are doing a different more senior role with the title they started with during the pandemic era hiring boom. Senior leadership is detached, unaware of projects in flight, and unfamiliar with the products to the point they will suggest new initiatives that are for things we already have. Most of them come from very large companies and try to act as if we have the same headcount, resources, and consumer base as a multinational B2C and are seemingly confused and unhappy when things don’t work out the way they expected.
