Pros

Bonus potential - these can be nice Office food - healthy and fresh, although somewhat sporadic Team dinners - they splurge on these at time which are fun Decent salaries Most likely will continue to grow as expected

Cons

Incredibly aggressive management from the top... very cutthroat environment. If you get on the bad side of the CEO it is maybe not worth the effort to rebuild the relationship. A few employees are treated very well, and a few very horribly. Mistakes, whether intentional or not, are often discussed in public settings, which often turns into public shaming from the CEO. It takes some thick skin to last here, and an aptitude towards office politics would come in handy. Work life balance is also an issue... expectations on team can be very unrealistic. The lack of funding is apparent when we have top tier customers and a team of low paid interns and remote workers trying to patch together projects. More in-house engineers are drastically needed!

Pros

In my 8 months of interning at OPSWAT, the work culture stood out like no other. From the first day I was greeted and welcomed by several people around the office. I always looked forward to team/office lunches and playing ping pong with my peers. I was also able to take on important projects and regularly meet with customers and prospects. Lastly, everyone wants you to succeed, and as an intern everyone is willing to help you grow. I have learned so much throughout my two sessions as a Product Manager Intern. I would recommend this position and OPSWAT to anyone as it is a great place to work.

Cons

I have no cons at all.

Pros

• Dedicated employees who are committed to the company’s success. • Opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work and make a visible impact. • Exposure to a growing cybersecurity company with a global presence. • Employees are trusted with significant responsibility and autonomy.

Cons

• Environment is heavily influenced by the CEO’s leadership style, which may not be a fit for everyone. It can be really intense. • Employees may be reluctant to raise concerns or challenge leaders out of fear. • PTO and holiday benefits are less competitive than those offered by many similarly sized companies. The limited amount of time off can make it challenging for employees to recharge and maintain long-term work-life balance.
