Cofense Reviews

The Company culture is in ruins the cyber team is overworked, underpaid, and not appreciated. The threat analysts in Operations are constantly looked down upon by the Threat Intelligence team who have some weird superiority complex going on. Management is un-empathetic and borderline psychopathic, the CEO's motto after the second or third RIF was "Suck it Up" literally after he fired 100 people right before the Christmas holidays. Instead of fixing the core cultural issues within the company, HR would rather gloss over the problem by posting fake reviews on here in an attempt to attract new people to the company after a lot of talented employees left earlier this year. The company has 1 good product (triage) the rest of the offerings are outclassed by their competitors by a long shot. Due to the mismanagement of the product by the product owners, their competitors continue to innovate and overtake Cofense in every way. So again instead of fixing the core issues within the company, Cofense would rather take to social media publicly attack their competitors in an almost daily fashion. If you like career progression then this job is not for you. If you like training and personal development this job is not for you. If you like working with cutting edge technology then I'm afraid this job is not for you. If you're a talented, ambitious cybersecurity professional then stay away from this place, you'll be wasting your time, there are plenty more companies out there, that will jump at the opportunity to invest in you and your future. Cofense will NOT do that!

Tired and outdated products that haven't moved with the times, the same sales rhetoric repeated to customers who just buy products to tick a compliance box. No general security practice, shocking for a company who sells a security product. There was also a very ill thought out phish about company lay offs that they felt appropriate to send to the company shortly after an actual RIF. Have some respect for the lives you damaged. Management would hold meetings to inform the company that more masses of the work force were fired overnight, never any strategy in place to take over the new work loads. They made the mistake of allowing anonymous questions on one call and got ripped into by the angry employees. Next call this feature was conveniently turned off and some tale was spun about if transparency is expected from management then people cant hide behind anonymous questions. Those who were foolish enough to believe there was no consequence to saying a negative word about the company or its mismanagement were met with a threatening call from the general council who would in short say if you dont like it leave. I was never offered any training in my entire time at the company or any career development. Its a sinking ship and i hope when it reaches the bottom the co-founders dont run off with another payout whilst others were left with nothing.
