Vantaggi
Massive greenfield opportunity if you're a builder. Leadership genuinely cares about security and puts real budget behind it, which is rare at this stage. You get autonomy to identify the biggest risks and go fix them without waiting for a committee or a quarterly planning cycle. Engineers are collaborative and actually receptive to security findings. AI is baked into everything, including how you work, not just the product. The pace is fast but the work is meaningful. You're not doing checkbox compliance, you're building programs from scratch with modern tooling and real support from the top. Compensation is competitive and perks like daily lunch, monthly stipends, and unlimited AI tokens make the day-to-day smoother.
Svantaggi
Small teams doing the work of much larger ones so you feel the stretch, especially during transitions or when enterprise customers are driving hard deadlines. Technical debt is real and recently surfaced in ways that create urgency. Compliance obligations are stacking up faster than headcount. Some internal tooling is still held together with duct tape and hasn't been professionalized yet.
