Nice office
Cons
Company operates like a 5 person startup. Lack tech support to effectively do your job, Google docs - so frustrating!!!
Micro management is alive and well, can’t sneeze without asking first.
Commission plans are medieval and complex

* 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
