Pros

AllClear ID has a lot of potential. They hire many smart and wonderful people. There are a lot of Go-Getters. The medical benefits are great - loved the HSA contribution perk. Great snacks and beverages, beautiful new facility, opportunity to meet so many cool diverse people from different places and backgrounds. I have made many friends and grew so much in my two years there. If you want to learn about security and data breaches, this is a great opportunity.

Cons

The company has been going through a roller coaster of changes. It was a late start-up that grew over four times its size within a year and a half. There have been issues with long-time Managers being promoted who many felt were not qualified to be in a leadership role. There is a ton of work - this company will continuously keep you busy. It can lead to burn-out fast if the culture doesn't change. I know meetings are important, but there are a ton of them! So many people are working late and long days because they are in meetings all day and still need to meet their objectives. They could improve on the PTO - it's not competitive with the larger tech companies in Austin. Flexibility is an issue in many departments - no work from home opportunities unless you are on the software development team. Traffic and commute can be long and grueling - but that is everywhere in Austin.

Pros

- The company feels essentially like a new company (startup-like) but with existing money in the bank to fund growth of the refined vision and new product. - Good for career growth and plenty of opportunities to pick up new skills and responsibilities. For me, personally, this has been a good place to grow leadership skills. - Interesting and exciting product (CrossChannel™ Platform is the one I work on) and SaaS development - The cloud engineering teams utilize modern technologies and practices like Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, Docker, Google Cloud Platform, monorepos, Python, Java, etc. - Development is not hindered by slow release cycles. We utilize a form of Scrumban as our product development methodology. - Intelligent, fun, and pleasant co-workers - CEO is attentive when you talk to him, regardless of your role. This was a drastic change from my time at IBM where even my director was less attentive than AllClear's CEO. - Flexibility with work/life balance - Travel opportunities, especially to the other office in Oslo, Norway - Pay is competitive - Nice office

Cons

- In the current stage of the company, you will need to wear multiple hats, which can be a con for some. - It took longer than I think it should have to re-focus the company into the current direction and product, but as of now it's going in the right direction and trend. - Need to be comfortable with the risks and unknowns of a company/startup with a runway - Sales team is in very early stages
