Pros

Some genuinely talented and driven colleagues across R&D. The company's technical direction in AI security is credible and differentiated in the market.

Cons

Reorganizations happen frequently and with little warning, making it difficult to build sustained momentum on any strategic initiative before priorities shift again. Roles are frequently understaffed relative to actual scope — it's common to be covering work that used to be split across multiple people, with no adjustment in headcount or support. When layoffs happen, the stated rationale often doesn't hold up to scrutiny: roles described as "no longer aligned with strategy" are sometimes eliminated even when the person was actively doing the exact work the company claims to be prioritizing. Communication during restructuring is procedural and impersonal — decisions are delivered by email with little room for real dialogue, even for people with strong performance records. Leadership talks about clarity and speed, but the organization has become harder to navigate, not easier.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
