Just awesome

Services Engineer (Current Employee)
San Jose, CA (US)

I have been working at CipherCloud full-time for less than a year

ProsIt is sooo good to work for the winning team, with a great technology, making each customer a happy and satisfied customer. Company's culture is really great with company's lunch/get together, games to bring a smile on each employee, day after day.

ConsIt is not a 40 hours a week job but at the same time who said you need to sleep 9h a night anyway ;)

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep focus on making us successful and continue creating amazing products with impressive technology

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Grow your career at an innovative company

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at CipherCloud full-time for less than a year

ProsThe company's growing rapidly: 1.2 million customers in under 3 years and the business outlook is strong.
Experienced leadership: CEO & founder, Pravin Kothari, was a co-founder of ArcSight, which HP acquired for $1.6 billion.
Flat hierarchy, open culture, highly collaborative, open door policy.
If you enjoy wearing multiple hats in your discipline, you'll thrive on the abundant opportunities to broaden your responsibilities and set stretch goals.
Friday lunch-and-learns are informative and fun -- the meals are always tasty and provide a welcome break to socialize across divisions.

ConsAs typical of companies in fast growth mode, we work long hour and often take work home, including for the weekends.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep up the open culture.

Fast Paced and Fascinating

I have been working at CipherCloud full-time

ProsThe people are interesting and creative. The company is growing fast with lots of opportunities. They try very hard to take care of their employees and provide a pleasant work environment.

ConsThe company is growing fast, they had to move half the employees into another suite. Meeting space is at a premium.
