Vantaggi

I can't say enough about every non-senior employee at the company. Everyone is intelligent and I truly enjoy working with them. The company has a great foothold on the security space.

Svantaggi

No vision - we've sat idly by and watched Google and others gain entry into the consumer space. Instead of bringing in visionary management, we hire the CEO's friends to ride the coattails of the success built by our junior employees. This would be fine if we ended up with the best, hungriest candidates, but they have yet to show any progress. We have the same issues as two years ago. When you try to engage management to fix systemic issues, they have no interest. Our lack of engineering resources is a huge issue and is truly slowing innovation and efficiency. It has become a running joke that any good idea won't get worked on for 1-2 years. This kills the perk of working at a "small, nimble" company. We might as well be a massive org if you have to sit through 5 meetings to convince people that your project should get worked on. You can see this hurting morale as they are told they are "product managers" yet they are unable to control the timeline or functionality of their product.

Vantaggi

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Svantaggi

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
