Pros

SheerID has a fantastic product that delivers real value for its customers. Some truly great people and some of the hardest workers I’ve had the pleasure of being around. Some great mid level leaders that were always willing to coach/lend a helping hand. The company enabled me to grow quite a bit in my career and I’ll be forever grateful for that.

Cons

Hiring is the Achilles heel of SheerID. Bad culture fits, lacking skill sets, and hiring people at critical growth points who’ve never done this before has been tough. The executive team does not live by the SheerID values and most hires at this point are because they know them or the board recommended them. Very few senior hires have been made on merit in my experience.

Anonymous Employee, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your time at SheerID. It's encouraging to hear that you felt you were able to grow your career during your time here. We care about personal and professional development for all team members, and I appreciate you expressing that sentiment. It’s even more important to hear where you think we could improve, and so it was disappointing to read about some of your experiences with the hiring decisions that were made. For a growing business like ours, we have to be incredibly nimble when it comes to scaling our teams, so our talent recruiting teams are always cultivating relationships with a number of people. Regarding your comments on listening to our employees, we are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent, and collaborative environment for all our employees. We are continuously looking for ways to enhance how we communicate and receive feedback from our team members. In fact, we launched an internal program earlier this year to achieve just that. Our dedication to our employees, in my opinion, is one area that sets us apart, and I am sorry that was not your experience while working here. All of your feedback has certainly been taken to heart, and we always strive to provide an environment where our employees can work where they work best. I encourage any reviewer to reach out and speak to someone personally. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I want to wish you the best of luck in your career and thank you for being a part of the SheerID journey. Jake Weatherly

Pros

Great people, excellent culture, and strong benefits. The tech team is lean but collaborative, dedicated, and extremely high performing. The leadership team is data-driven and consistently makes well-reasoned choices.

Cons

I sometimes wish the leadership team had more dedicated time together to align and stay at a higher, more strategic level.
