Pros

The company is not at all short on talent, every department has some of the most creative and talented individuals I have had the pleasure to work with. I worked alongside all teams so I got to know everybody at the company really well, if I ever had a question which falls outside of my area of knowledge, there was never any negativity cast for asking questions of other teams, or asking other managers / seniors for advice. I have felt supported by my line manager, who has given me good career development within the team. The management in my experience have been really flexible, understanding, and passionate about what it is they do. Management also have subject matter expertise in their respective areas, and having engaged with them on multiple occasions, I felt a transfer of skills and knowledge from what they explained to me. The company has a great purpose and you can feel proud of the work you do, knowing what benefit you are having on society. If you are looking to join an inclusive, small - medium sized cyber company, with friendly, creative, and talented staff, this is the place to be!

Pros

Great products and good integrations for a start up

Cons

It’s surprising how quickly my perception of a company I once deeply cared about and was genuinely excited to be part of shifted in such a short period of time. What was once a place I looked forward to every week has become one where rudeness and hostility seem to dominate. The people who made this place great have left too soon, while those who thrive on authority and politics remain. Over the past 2.5 months, there’s been too many random lay offs to sales people with no genuine reasons other than not wanting to pay severance for the over 2 years service, you’ll find the average employee churn is around 1 yr and 7 months due to this. During that time, I truly loved what I did. But now, it feels like everyone is just keeping their heads down, waiting for the next round of lay offs which has prompted the majority of our team members to start looking for roles elsewhere. Good people are leaving due to uncertainty not performance. Accelerators have been removed for sales staff which defies the objective of an incentive to sell. Commission has been taken away from sales staff for working deals for months due to greed from management. Unfortunately the internalised misogyny in the sales team has not improved and actions are taken against female staff who try and speak up.
