Pros

Honestly, none that I can honestly recommend.

Cons

Zero work-life balance (20+ clients with impossible expectations) Unclear goals & constant pivoting (VM to coding to R&D to layoff) 3 CEOs changed in 2 years → complete structural chaos 50%+ workforce laid off in 2025 (200 → 90 people) Sub-5% raises despite empty promises Company renamed from CyberSecurityWorks(CSW) to Securin to "rebrand image" "Constructive feedback" calls used as pretext for termination Overall Experience: I joined in 202x and left in 202x. Over three years, I handled 20+ clients, each with sky-high expectations but zero clarity on objectives. Communication between leadership, clients, and security analysts was broken. If a client escalated an issue, leadership would demand something no one in the org had ever thought of—then blame you. One week you're doing VM. Next week you're automating everyone's work. Then writing code. Then building new apps/products. Then self-paced training—only to have a "feedback" call that leads to termination. The appraisal cycle gave me less than 5% (same for colleagues I spoke with). No perks. Promises of hikes were lies. In 2025-26, they laid off more than 50% of the company—from 200 headcount down to ~90. Directors, VPs, managers, seniors, program managers—all gone. You can give your whole heart, time, and life to this place, and there is zero job security. We had 3 different CEOs in 2 years. Each one restructured teams, created conflicts no one resolved, and laid off my managers, leads, analysts, interns, VPs, program managers—everyone, repeatedly. They even changed the company name from CyberSecurityWorks (CSW) to Securin to improve their brand image. You all know why.

Pros

Some of the people here are wonderful, hardworking, and collaborative.

Cons

Leadership does not communicate across teams and expects ICs to share updates and comms but there is no agreement at the top. The culture is one of fear and shame. Asking questions is met with reprimands for not knowing the answer already. Priorities shift daily and there is little room for long term planning. Disorganized and chaotic.
