Pros

This company will be successful, if you can last a year, you will get some equity, which will be worth something, someday... People who likes politics will most likely do well here. Security is a hot area to be in. Some great talents are still in the company, however, slowly being replaced (read Cons).

Cons

Most of the reviews here seemed to be pre-polished. Far too many people who left were not happy with the company management and employees treatment. I have decided to post my review after I saw "Worst Management ever". It feels that this review was a bit more angry then it should have being, however, most of the things mentioned is unfortunately true. Most of us who join Securityscorecard, were optimistic to start and do well. Most did just that. However at some point, you just can't help but to see good people being laid off - Quietly. At some point you start to pickup specific pattern. People are being overworked, burned out, and then replaced. Nothing personal, just business. Most (not all) of the positions for upper management are hires, not promoted from within. The concepts of good company is there, but it is mostly acted upon, until it is not in the interest for upper management. Hippocratic environment! CEO is definitely impressive, but does treat people as belongings and threatens us all constantly. Many more to say... but I think you got the gist!

Hi- my name is Trent Blanchard and I am the new VP of People & Culture here at SSC. I REALLY appreciate your honest, fact driven feedback; when accepting the VP role at SSC, I had done my research and learned of the issues you mentioned and know the work I have in front of me. I take this work very seriously- both professionally and personally. I am super impressed the company chose to hire me, knowing my deep expertise with building strong and health company cultures, my no-nonsense approach and my background in Psychology. They know they need to change and are open to it- otherwise I wouldn't be here. Things are shifting: I so wish you could see the changes.

To support you, our leadership team reviews these targets regularly, and we recently brought on a new Senior Director of Total Rewards to ensure our compensation remains fair and competitive. We are also continuously rolling out new enablement sessions and tools to help you succeed. Thank you for your hard work!

Pros

SecurityScorecard has smart, hardworking people, and there are real opportunities to take on meaningful work quickly. If you are someone who can operate independently, solve ambiguous problems, and move fast, you can have a lot of impact here. There are also pockets of strong cross-functional collaboration, especially among employees who are genuinely trying to keep the business moving despite constant change.

Cons

The biggest issue is leadership instability and inconsistent operating discipline. Priorities change quickly, ownership is often unclear, and too much critical work depends on a small number of people rather than durable processes or properly staffed teams. There is a pattern of asking employees to absorb more scope without the resources, authority, or support required to execute sustainably. Decision-making can feel reactive instead of strategic. Different teams may push overlapping initiatives without clear alignment, which creates confusion, duplicated work, and unnecessary political friction. There is also a tendency to reward urgency over planning, which leads to burnout and makes it difficult to build systems that last. Communication from leadership often feels disconnected from the reality of day-to-day execution. The company talks about transformation and innovation, but the internal operating model does not always support that ambition.
