Pros

I can only think of one. The people(non-management) are a pleasure to get to know and work with.

Cons

CEO micromanages a lot, to the point that hierarchy of command becomes meaningless. I have witnessed more than one instance of unnecessary condescending attitude from the CEO. He hires VP's to manage the sales of the company. It's very apparent that he can't do it. If he could then the company would be driving more revenue, compared to how long they have been in business. CEO doesn't understand sales and what it takes to be successful. He has unrealistic expectations on timeframes and building out sales strategies. He treats all Sales guys like crap and thinks he is the best sales guy in the company. After speaking to a few of the CEO's that are partners with the company, they have stated there distaste for Benny the CEO. These are comments from current partners of his that have to deal with him. Wish I would have known all this information before joining that team!

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.
