Pros
Pay is decent and the product is important. Pay is reasonable. Decent healthcare options and the usual 401k. Few bonus perks like training budget in sunlight and WFH stipend. HOWEVER leadership is problematic. I am lucky enough to be under a caring empathetic director who protects his employees from the brunt of the toxic leaders above him but at best older leadership (I can not speak on new leadership hired this year) seems oblivious and out of touch at best and legitimately toxic at the top. HR’s stance is that employees should not expect to have a work life balance and that the company is “not for everyone” which is never a good sign. That may have worked in the before times but people expect to have a life now and you should want happy fulfilled employees in all aspects of their life. Live events a bit out of touch. Could have done without the ego stroking and lamborghini pictures of the C levels while the rest of us try to figure out how to feed ourselves after being served soggy paste sandwiches for lunch.
Cons
Ceo and leadership go directly against security’s recommendations. Much of leadership is the “exception” for security policies and safety leaving the org at risk. Compliance and security are often an afterthought for leadership while touted as a company value. Company actively deters personal connection and does not allow community channels or fun groups in various chat apps leading to poor sense of community. HR has flat out said that employees at Socure should NOT expect to have ANY work life balance and that it is not for everyone. They ignore the toxicity festering and have not kept up with the industry and flout security from the top down while sneering at employees for expecting to have a work and a life. If they do not adjust to the realities of modern employment I expect them to have trouble retaining top talent and encouraging younger employees to join the org.
