Pros

The people are amazing and the product is really neat. I have found the mix of attitudes most people bring to this place are positive. The free food/snacks are a great perk. The pay is fair for living and working in a big city. The opportunity to travel to see other offices or clients is fun. The work is extremely rewarding knowing how the product helps so many people.

Cons

The CEO is like a mythical creature; talked about, never seen.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
