great company - Recensione dipendente - Chief People Officer (CPO) presso OpenDNS

Customers love OpenDNS, which makes it amazing

It transitioned from startup to big company with the acquisition.

Unique security solution that is easy to implement and rollout. OpenDNS uses big data analytic's from seeing 3-4% of the worlds internet traffic through its 20+ worldwide DNS DC's. It takes this information and is able to predict where threats on the web are: malware, phishing threats, etc.

CEO is the founder. He was a kid when he started and still is today - young, immature and green. A good hacker but a poor leader. It's key for him to hire the right C levels to execute the vision and strategy. Place has turned into a grind shop - high pressure, micro-managing, high expectations - little reward little recognition... very unbalanced. Company is slow moving - been around for 9 years and is trying to penetrate the Enterprise security market from being a consumer content filtering solution. It's key for him to hire the right C levels to execute the vision - end of the day David U is just a hacker not a leader. Place is turning into a grind factory. High expectations, high pressure from management - low compensation, low reward. Very unbalanced.
