Pros

The mindset from top down and bottoms up is let's get it done. The environment is collaborative and supportive. The people are smart and well credentialed The workplace and notion of HR are vastly superior to what I have experienced elsewhere - they enable the business. Open doors? No need, it's an open floor plan where everyone is accessible. We fight the bad guys and we do it well, our solution is simple and effective and leveraged by the US department of defense and world's largest, most prestigious financial service companies, retail, healthcare and tech companies. We are disruptive and ranked accordingly. Gartner says there are 5 cool companies in 2017 and we are one of them.

Cons

We are not bleeding edge, but we deliver a service in a way that is non traditional and perceivably more expensive. We have some educating to do. In reality, we provide tremendous value and low cost of ownership because our offerings are fixed and comprehensive.

Pros

Pay was good and unlimited PTO

Cons

In my experience, there were consistent challenges related to leadership communication, clarity of vision, and transparency in decision making. Changes were often made with limited context provided to employees, which made it difficult to feel aligned with the direction of the organization. Decisions affecting teams appeared unclear or not well explained, contributing to uncertainty and reduced confidence in leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We genuinely value hearing from current and former team members - it helps us grow as an organization. Transparency, clear communication, and making employees feel informed and valued are areas we take seriously. We've made meaningful investments here, including more structured all-hands updates and dedicated channels for recognizing team contributions, but we know there is always more work to do. We recognize that changes without sufficient context can create uncertainty, and that's not the environment we want to build. Feedback like this helps us stay accountable to that standard. Our door is open, and we hope anyone with specific experiences or suggestions will feel encouraged to share them directly with leadership or through our internal feedback channels. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you well.
