Pros

The whole product of Surfshark is actually really interesting. I like security tools in general so I believe Surfshark development tasks and features really suits me. Surfshark's always using the newest tools and trying to innovate which is really cool.

Cons

There's not much of the benefits for employees. Of course you get health care package and everything but it's annoying that there's no parking and you have to go to the office 3 times a week and that's mandatory. Office itself is in terrible place of Vilnius and there's nothing good about it. The worst part of this company is that the group makes all of the decisions about salaries, rules, policies and not the Surfshark. You have to understand that you will be working in corporation. If you like that - then this job is for you.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience at Surfshark. And we appreciate a positive look at our products and innovative security tools. Regarding employee benefits, we're committed to creating a robust, employee-focused system. We upgrade it annually, offering healthcare packages, additional days off, an annual workation, free learning platforms, and more. There will probably never be a convenient office location for 300 people, depending on where they live, so it would be difficult to meet this expectation. However, the company is working hard on office convenience by allocating parking spaces (to the maximum available extent). If you didn’t get one, message our admins for potential solutions, including coverage for public transport or parking ticket costs. We understand the importance of flexibility. While we operate on a 3-day office schedule, we encourage occasional work-from-home days and offer a "work from anywhere" option with 5 requests per year. We hope this provides a better work-life balance. Decision-making in a large company does take time, and we appreciate your patience. We conduct the “Surfshark Pulse” survey to gather employee feedback, ensuring that your insights shape and improve our decisions. Your feedback is valuable, and we're here to hear and address the concerns you have. We hope the information provided above helps, and we’ll try harder to make Surfshark a better place to work.
