Pros

The tool itself is reasonably built and the end-user experience is built well. Organizationally, the only other pro is that they are entirely remote and offer competitive salaries. However, you are expected to always be online and available.

Cons

Over the course of the year Twingate lost their first CMO, removed their new head of marketing, and in general was a revolving door for employees. Not to mention when they endangered staff for a company offsite where most everyone got covid, and were stuck there for a week. The company has lofty goals, but is falling so short on sales that the CEO constantly took out their frustrations on the marketing team as leadership fails to understand they are not designed to purely generate leads. Moreover, leadership refused to expand the marketing team, were stingy on budget unless it came down to consumer-level approaches like a 10k+ influencer shoutout, felt marketing should do the prospecting, leadership did not provide direction or strategy, and was in general an atmosphere led by anger and fear. This was the most toxic environment I have ever been involved in. The cofounders are completely in over their heads and the CEO often took to publicly attacking people (verbally) due to their own ignorance and lack of leadership capabilities.

Pros

Outside of my department the people seemed happy and engaged. The HR team was great. Salary was good.

Cons

I don't like writing this, but I feel like I need to warn other considering joining the DevOps or SRE teams. I left after only 6 weeks in favor of poverty because I just couldn't stand even one more day while I looked for a new job. The onboarding process was ridiculously bad. The job description didn't resemble reality in any way... it was a complete bait and switch. The DevOps and Backend teams are awful.... Absolutely no communication. They have no understanding of what DevOps or SRE mean. I predict the business will fail because reliability is critical and they have no idea how to get there.

Pros

Twingate has a good compensation package

Cons

CEO micromanaging and in the weeds. Lacks experience. Toxic culture of politics. This org is everything a tech startup shouldn’t be.
