Pros

-I felt my pay was decent -Wellness Fridays (not sure if they're being continued) -Some of the benefits are nice like Unlimited PTO, quarterly bonuses, parental leave, and education stipends -My team was pretty chill actually. I can't complain about them. -Flexible hours, I was encouraged to take a break if needed -Unique company with awesome product -Company was respectful when I left, in my opinion -Weekly/biweekly company meetings

Cons

-There are some super awesome people who work here, but from the top it radiates a bit of anxiety and negativity. I was told for weeks at the start of my job "don't take it personally," because they said someone I worked with will likely be rude to me as I simply did my job. Basically when everyone says to not take something seriously and just accept rudeness, it means you're being bullied and treated badly and I saw people be treated that way sometimes. I didn’t like that some people tolerated rude behavior, like it should be normal in a professional setting. -Anxiety that doesn't resolve itself with one employee wellness day a month. I had major anxiety, especially at the beginning of my job, which was a red flag. -Top leadership was disrespectful to people and their time, including candidates -Uncertainty about your job. Also, random people would end up let go and I would have no clue what happened to my manager and others on a random day of the week. No one would speak about it. -Health insurance premiums went through the roof just for bad coverage -Company doesn't always seem to listen to their employees, even though some surveys have been circulated. Maybe things will be better implemented in the future though. -Lots of change and very fast paced. Sometimes was a pro, but other times caused a lot of stress.

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.
