Pros

Competitive pay and decent benefits. Fully remote with a monthly WFH stipend, plus a learning stipend of $250/year for books and courses (it was $500 last year though). I worked with some very driven and smart people (who are mostly either burnt out, unhappy, or now laid off).

Cons

All the other negative reviews are SPOT ON and I would NOT recommend working here. Your time and talent will be wasted trying to figure out how to deal with janky tech or fighting the latest fire or updating OKRs every week. Socure brags about hypergrowth, yet have had two rounds of surprise layoffs within 6 months. Clearly, leadership cannot be trusted. The CEO also regularly berates and insults people in front of others on calls, Slack, and emails...ask yourself, would you want to work for somebody like that? Those coming from more mature and stable companies would be appalled with how this company operates. It's no surprise that many people have a hard time being motivated and productive here. And despite what the marketing says, their tech actually isn't very impressive and certainly not "state of the art" (far from it).

Pros

One of the highest-performing companies I've ever worked for. There is a strong culture of collaboration, accountability, and winning, with teams genuinely supporting one another to achieve shared goals. The company provides tremendous opportunities for both personal and professional growth, and you're surrounded by talented people who challenge you to continuously improve and succeed.

Cons

The same qualities that make this a great place to work may not be for everyone. Success here requires a high degree of ownership, initiative, and self-motivation. This is not an environment for passive contributors; you are expected to lead, solve problems, drive outcomes, and proactively navigate obstacles. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and there is a constant sense of urgency around execution and winning. While you have the resources and support of a larger organization, you're expected to operate with an entrepreneurial mindset and run your area of responsibility like it's your own business.
