      Pros

      There are some truly genuine people there that want the best for the company. They will work long hours and do whatever it takes to make Haystax successful. The benefits are decent too. Haystax offers things like telecommuting, flexible work hours, 401k matching, etc.

      Cons

      The product vision is not clear and there is an absence of processes and planning which creates confusion amongst all departments. This ultimately stems from a lack of leadership. Haystax prides themselves in autonomy and no micromanagement. However, it's to the point where you honestly don't know what you're supposed to be doing. They have no problem dropping money on things like a keg, espresso machine, drinks at restaurants, etc. but have trouble paying for tools/resources for workers. Every workplace is not without this, but on numerous occasions gender discrimination against women was obvious. Workers are not part of the hiring process. It seems that senior leadership has the only say in who will be hired. The all-hands meetings always brought to light issues going on within the company but action was never taken to correct these issues.

      We are sorry for your experience at Haystax and wish you all the best in your future endevours. We are very surprised with some of the issues you raise. Core to our culture is our ability to hire and empower a diverse team. 2017 was a very successful year for the company and it is reflected in the fact we doubled the size of the company while earning several top industry recognitions for our company and product. These included being recognized as one of the top 100 most innovative private companies by Red Herring and one of the 16 most innovative cybersecurity company by SINET. Gartner also recognized us as a top vendor in the hot user behavior analytics and insider threat product space. We look forward to building on these in 2018. If anything, 2017 was a year in which our product vision, execution and focus were validated by market success rather than being a ‘pandemonium’. While we are not perfect, we are always striving to improve and to be the company where every employee can feel empowered and supported to do their best work everyday. Yes, we highly recommend Ed Catmull’s book as well. It was recommended to all employees 👍🏻

      Priorities need to be reassessed

      Pros

      Ability to work remotely, flexible hours, good benefits, frequent company-provided lunches and snacks. The security analytics space is in the process of maturing, so this company is well-positioned for the time being.

      Cons

      Upper management can become too removed from the lower-level work and processes that drive the platform. The company often chases after big clients and subsequently neglects developing the core platform. Even though Haystax is supposed to be a "product" company, it more often than not feels like a consulting/services company that tailors one-off products to specific clients. Working at a company where signing 1 - 2 clients will "make or break" the company is stressful.

      No Longer the Company It Once Was

      Pros

      Lots of autonomy and a bright technical staff

      Cons

      Constantly shifting directions with little consistent strategic direction. The company started with a good vision, but has been broken up into two independent pieces that are run by the financial investors. All of the good leadership left the company six months ago.

      In February of this year Haystax Technology split into two companies to focus on two areas of competency. NetCentrics - focusing on IT and cybersecurity services for major federal agencies and Haystax Technology - focusing on security analytics products. One of reasons for the split was the different cultures between the two companies. The CEO of NetCentrics is Bob Dougherty and the CEO of Haystax Technology is Bryan Ware. Bryan, was the founder and CEO of Digital Sandbox, a risk analytics company that is now Haystax Technology. We are proud of the fact that this year Haystax Technology (the product company) has had 0% attrition of employees (yes, that is correct) and we have not lost a customer in 3 years. We take great pride in our products, our employees and most importantly in serving our wonderful customers. Note to NetCentrics employees: If you're a current or former NetCentrics employee, please post on the NetCentrics Glassdoor and not here, which is the site for Haystax Technology.
