Pros
Collaborative team with lots of PKI domain experience. New CEO and management team driving growth and transformation. Strong financials in a bad economy. Many people have stayed with the company for over 5 years because the company takes good care of employees. Feel connected with the digital trust mission.
Cons
rivate company, so no real stock options or RSUs, yet. But then, my previous public company stock tanked! I'll take cash, thank you. Legacy tech debt from prior acquisitions need to be retired quickly.

Dear current DigiCert employee,
First, we appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about the company. It helps us to better understand areas where we are succeeding and areas where there is opportunity to grow.
We love that you have found value in collaborating with teams with PKI domain experience in your time at the company and that your are excited about our new CEO and the drive to growth and transformation. We’re excited that you feel connected with the digital trust mission and that you recognize others remain at DigiCert because of how much we value our employees.
We understand your concerns about stock options and tech debt. These are areas we do not take lightly. And we appreciate your recommendation to move up the digital trust value chain. I’m sure you will see more in the future about this being a priority for leadership and the organization.
Regards,
DigiCert People team
DigiCert has an amazing culture with a ton of great people who are always willing to collaborate and band together to achieve a common goal. I feel I have the tools, support, autonomy, and resources to succeed in my role and make a positive business impact.
Cons
There is definitely areas of opportunity when it comes to building for scale and breaking down operational silos as DigiCert continues to grow as an organization.

I have loved my team and manager since day 1. I stay because DigiCert continues to provide me with professional development opportunities. I began as a file clerk and now manage a team doing complex operational efficiency work. They supported me through an MBA and each year I take at least one course and attend at least one industry event to help expand my skill and reach. The pay is average, BUT when you add in the value of the above-average benefits, the total remuneration package is great.
Cons
DigiCert is owned by Private Equity. If you have not worked for a PE portfolio company before, it means they focus solely on making money and stripping out what they deem as fluff (which I deem as retention levers, like company parties and swag).
