Pros

There are some very talented and intelligent people at Scorecard who are great to work with.

Cons

The company strategy is unclear, it shifted from ratings then to new modules with risk quantification and attack surface management and now to services. It was difficult to be customer facing and communicate future state when the organization lacked clear direction. Front line employees spend countless hours on calls with upset customers discussing issues that are caused by these half baked products and features. Issues from customers will sometimes make it to the roadmap or broken windows, but only after lengthy periods of complaints to their account team. Getting paid commission as a part of the revenue team is constantly an uphill battle. Tracking is unclear and not organized, there are constant meetings to be had over structure, under payments, missing deals etc., just to get paid what you have earned.

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.
