Pros

Cool product, market opportunity is big

Cons

Leadership, toxic culture, no real strategy. There are really so many things wrong with this company it’s hard to know where to start. It’s a real shame because the market opportunity and potential for success are huge. I think the executive staff is the major problem, mostly the CEO. Good majority are inexperienced, making emotional decisions, have a reputation of being hot headed and are just not genuinely nice, approachable people. This causes the wrong people to be hired and the culture to continuously suffer. I have never seen a revolving door like this one, at a company. It’s mind blowing they don’t do more to solve the problem. It is incredibly expensive to hire people and lose them months later. It’s clear at this point, they don’t care or don’t have a clear understanding of their problems. I’ve been in meetings with multiple leaders that were downright abusive. Any solid person would not put up with that, so therefore all the A players leave. When they do, the employees left pay the price because many things are done in silos and there are not mature processes. There are not goals within the different organizations. Leaders do not plan cross-functionally. Because there is no clear strategy, everything becomes a priority. This leaves employees overworked and never feeling the sense of over achievement. Leaders get a lot of pressure from the executive team and do not shelter their teams from it. Instead it trickles right down and becomes everyone’s problem. This is not effective and leads to a very unhappy employee base. I could go on and on and on. Hopefully they figure things out. Great product and a lot of potential.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We do not tolerate any employee treating another employee this way. It is true that we are still refining our approach to cross-company strategy, and we know that doing so will result in an even brighter future. As with all ultra-high growth companies, we move fast and it's not a typical 9-5 job. To address that reality, we offer benefits like unlimited PTO and weekly peer-to-peer recognition during our all-hands. PS - we agree we have a great product with a great future!

It is fantastic to hear that you are enjoying our enterprise client exposure and sales training. We know sales targets can feel demanding during peak quarters. 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.
