Pros

There's a lot of opportunity to make this company GREAT. There are some genuine people who have joined recently that truly do care to lean in and do what's right for the people and the business. The flexible work policy is great. I've had DigiCert go above and beyond for me during my time here when it counted. There's SO much work to be done here and once we can rid the culture of 'turf' wars and be more open to change, I think anyone who truly enjoys to find things that are broken and work together to fix them would enjoy working here.

Cons

The legacy culture was built around a lot of entitlement. The acquisitions and mergers that were done throughout the history of the org were not done the best. Because of this there are so many system and process issues that were treated differently depending on the company you came from. And as you can imagine that causes a lot of disruption when you attempt to finally bring it all together. It's honestly been painful. But there has been great progress made in some areas and it's what makes it all worth it. The entitled culture that DigiCert was and still kind of is (as you can see from the petty and tactless reviews calling out leaders by name) is what will keep the morale down and make the business suffer. There's a lot of chaos at times and still a lot of working reactively but I've learned it comes with the territory of working at a company undergoing massive transformation.

COMPANY IS SINKING SHIP

Pros

These days, there is very little happening. Morale has reached an all-time low, and the existing staff members are eagerly awaiting the economy to stabilize before making a mass departure. Even new hires are leaving after just a few months of being here.

Cons

The organization has become an absolute nightmare. The newly appointed CEO, CRO, and CFO are attempting to start from scratch, but they are also implementing questionable compensation plans with unrealistic targets. Moreover, there is relentless pressure on the sales department to sell products that are not yet market-ready. The company had a disastrous performance in Q1 2023 and is likely to struggle throughout the entire year.

Dear current DigiCert employee, Thank you for taking the time to complete a Glassdoor review. We have read your assessment. In these times of change, we understand how hard it can be to accept that things have to change and are changing. We invite you to take some time and engage with your People Team colleagues about why decisions have been made and what can be learned from them. Reach out to DigiCert leaders or members of the People Team and share your thoughts and feelings. As difficult as change is, it can be made easier with information and understanding.

The Times they are a Changing

Pros

These pros are past tense. Now everyone is running scared and lacking their former confidence and poise. It was a great place to work. Did really cool work and built great products - strong emphasis on customer service. The positive is the potential exists - but is not tapped into.

Cons

Don't put the cart before the horse. Recent emphasis is on dollars (fine), but not at the expense of building/launching the right product. Going public will make things worse - not better. Granted a few folks stand to make some nice bank, but in the long run it will damage if not destroy the company. History makes no compunctions about its lessons.

Dear current DigiCert employee, You are correct: The times are changing. And DigiCert leadership is working to determine a path forward that helps the company to grow and evolve to meet changing needs. We acknowledge that these changes are not all comfortable. Employees like yourself who have been with the company for many years may feel apprehension about changes, but leaders have spent a lot of time explaining the directions and decisions. We invite you to reach out to members of the DigiCert People Team to learn more about the changes and to ask any questions you have and provide all the feedback that you have. Your voice and opinion matter to us, and we look forward to working with you to ensure DigiCert remains focused on its customers and employees as we move forward. DigiCert People Team
