Very rocky period. Approach with caution

Pros

- Small but mighty customer list - work with great brands - Customer service levels - Hardworking team. Monthly wellness days. Good pay & benefits. - CEO is a dynamic front-person for the brand - The combination of the product and the security analysts team is effective at stopping attacks for clients (but resource intensive)

Cons

- No scalable growth strategy, still a lot of founder-led sales, pricing not competitive, no trust between marketing/sales - Unfocused product strategy and lack of true competitive differentiators (outside CAPTCHA challenge) - Used to have a caring culture, but regressed into a toxic culture where nothing is ever good enough. - Laid off 1 / 5 staff in Q2 2022. Irresponsible over-hiring in Q1 2022 & and extravagant spending has morphed into spending freezes, reluctance to pay vendors, etc. - HR decisions handled callously. Examples of people being fired by voicemail & email, breaking employment laws, demoting strong performers - Corporate account publishing "we're hiring" post on LinkedIn right after mass layoffs, very disrespectful.

Pros

Good product that works Some super intelligent people in the POC teams

Cons

They have just made 27 people redundant which is the 3rd time they have made a mass group redundant in 12 months. CRO is a egomaniac bully and enough to make anyone want to leave Shoestring budget Awful working environment

Pros

Great talent amongst the ranks

Cons

What is said by senior leaders and what is actually done are very different. Leaders virtue signal on LinkedIn about their leadership skills when in reality they have little to no leadership common sense or emotional intelligence
