Pros

Your coworkers (folks who you share a role with and your immediate manager/team lead) are genuinely some of the smartest and kindest people you will ever meet/work with.

Cons

No hyperbole, everything else. Leadership seems hellbent to drive the company into the ground, you're a ticketbot and not an analyst, no time for training, no support, lackluster benefits, hostile work environment from the top down, HR complaints are not taken seriously or outright ignored, "company culture" on paper but zero in practice, there is a stronger focus on getting the customer to be quiet and not actually fix issues, leadership really seems to have favorites, the buck is passed at a breakneck speed, the name of the game is "blame and fire"... I could go on but you get the idea. This all culminates into zero work/life balance, the most extreme burnout I've ever seen in any field/position, and rock bottom physical/mental/emotional health. The "guiding beliefs" of NuHarbor (help our clients win, always improve, and protect the house) are outright lies.

So glad to hear that you respect your co-workers. We believe we have a great Crew too! In terms of the Cons and Advice given here, at NuHarbor we focus on facts versus the stories people tell themselves. These comments lack facts. To say that the leadership team including the founder of the company is intentionally driving his own company, built on his vision for the future of cybersecurity, is a pretty bold statement... and a story. Everyone has a choice in where they work, why they choose to work there.

Pros

- decent benefits: time-off, volunteer hours, immediate vesting - coworkers/management: hardworking, transparent, and mostly good peeps all around

Cons

- healthcare could be cheaper - transparency from leadership - we can always ask questions... but it seems like we have to wait for company wide meetings to find out big changes. - pay

Thank you for your feedback! We agree that our coworkers are amazing and transparent and all work together to ensure we take care of our clients. Healthcare is a challenge for everyone... no doubt about it. In 2026 we provide more choices on how you split between premiums and copay/coinsurance. We believe it's a good move for everyone. Communication is a challenge, always. And, your point about more continuous communication vs. company meetings is a good one. We'll take that into consideration as we work to improve. Regarding wages, we are transparent about the processes we use to determine salary and we consider the location of each person in that process. Please reach out to your manager or to People & Culture if you have a question about your pay. We'll always make time to listen and discuss.

Pros

There are talented people doing their best, but the system they’re operating in makes it harder than it should be.

Cons

Priorities change constantly with little follow-through, which leads to rework and a steady stream of unfinished initiatives. There’s also a lack of clear operational standards, processes are inconsistent, documentation is limited, and teams often end up solving the same problems repeatedly. Layoffs are a recurring theme and happen often enough to feel cyclical. In a smaller organization, even modest reductions are noticeable, and over time it creates a baseline level of uncertainty. Leadership gaps are significant and span multiple functions, and when things don’t go as planned, the response is restructuring rather than addressing root causes. Gaps between teams often lead to misalignment between what’s sold and what can actually be delivered, which means engineering gets pulled into late-stage conversations or asked to support commitments that weren’t fully thought through. You’ll also see responses here pointing to cybersecurity being a “fast-moving” or “rapidly growing” industry. While that’s true, here it functions as a convenient explanation that places the burden on employees to “keep up” instead of addressing leadership and planning gaps. If you’re interviewing, ask about turnover and layoffs. The answers will be informative. This environment expects a very high level of performance with minimal support or structure. In practice, even highly experienced or exceptionally skilled individuals will find it difficult to succeed consistently.

Thank you for sharing your input. It's always a great idea to ask about reviews and experiences like this when interviewing. We're happy to chat about it. You are correct, the changes in the industry do precipitate changes internally. We continue to strengthen how we communicate and support these changes as a growing company.
