Pros

Permanent contracts Nice co workers

Cons

Underpaid, average pay is about 20k rand ( 1000 dollars per month ) this is without tax deductions. An engineer gets about 25 - 28k rand ( 1400 dollars) per month without tax deductions. No travel allowance, and no 500-dollar vouchers for Christmas anymore since the new CEO only focuses on cost-cutting and filling his pockets, and probably sell the company at some point. Work is intense and constantly busy. The company does not sell or give old laptops even without hard drives to staff members instead give it to some organizations while we underpaid staff can barely afford a computer. The cost of living is extremely high in Cape Town and is only increasing. Nothing is almost done about salaries but we expected to live in Digicerts and grow the company. We can function remotely but we have to go to the office just to show our faces while we have Zoom if needed. Self-study, do not expect proper training. You need to pay 2000 rand ( 100 dollars) for medical aid from your pocket and it's mandatory besides 12000 rand rent ( 600 dollars) and food etc. unless you want to live unsafely and pay 6000 rand for rent.

Dear current DigiCert employee, We appreciate you taking the time to post your review on Glassdoor. It’s unfortunate that you do not see the six years you have spent as a technical engineer in Cape Town as positive. While you noted coworkers and permanent contracts as positives, you outlined several negatives that should be addressed. DigiCert works hard to ensure compensation and benefits meet or exceed markets. Our benefits include paying half of employees’ medical aid in South Africa, a data allowance, and several other things. Also, employees receive meals on the two days they are in office. Beyond that, we offer several different personal and professional development opportunities, including in-house courses and learnings through various platforms, as well as educational support for other formal studies. Some of the items you included cannot be addressed as they are factually inaccurate, but we would be happy to meet with you and review the vast array of things included in DigiCert’s Total Rewards package. Please reach out to a member of the People Team to assist you with that information. Regard, DigiCert People Team

Dear current DigiCert employee, Thank you for providing feedback about your experience in your six years as a site reliability engineer in Lehi. We appreciate your input, good and bad. That said, we appreciate that you recommend the company, and, in your more than six years with DigiCert, you have enjoyed the work-life balance, learning and development and convivial environment. We understand you believe that management needs to improve, and that the pay and benefits are less than you think they should be. We would be interested in learning more about this. The DigiCert People Team does work hard to provide market-leading benefits, so we would be interested to know where you see them falling short and what suggestions you have for improvement. Please reach out to a member of the People Team and we can discuss these things with you confidentially. Regards, DigiCert People Team
