Pros

- pays decent - unlimited PTO - work with some good people

Cons

I have never been a part of a worse culture or seen a worse CEO than my experience at SecurityScorecard. The company is an absolute dumpster fire and all the positive reviews are being bribed to current employees. The leadership openly discusses their Glassdoor score in meetings and it has an impact on their hiring ability. Just know the positive reviews are fake. The CEO and leadership are the most toxic and incapable people I have ever been around. There is not one company in the country that would hire the CEO, but since he controls 3 of the 5 board seats, he is untouchable. He constantly changes strategy based on whatever book he is reading and there is no consistently because no one in Sr. Leadership can stay long enough to make any changes. The place is so bad that even went through a spell where prospective leadership candidates had to interview with a psychiatrist to see if they "could handle the environment." Have you ever heard of that in your life? That's how bad the place is. The product is constantly broken and they are churning customers hand over fist. The product is nothing but a commodity, and they do RIFs every quarter to make their Vodoo math work appear profitable or close to it. I have never worked at a place where I saw multiple people get physically sick from working at a company and I saw it multiple times here. STAY AWAY!

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.
