Great startup under tremendous stress since its acquisition

Pros

Great product that helps many companies in the industry with their cybersecurity. They host a company-wide briefing every morning. Has some very friendly and talented people working there.

Cons

The company took a couple turns during its IPO and acquisition, lots of changes to the Product, Revenue and Marketing sectors were revamped in terms of staff, management and direction. Bonuses have been cut 75% or more. Culture is a lot more divisive, and departments have siloed a lot since WFH became more common.

Hello. We are working on updating the compensation structure based on employee feedback. With new ownership as well as being in the cybersecurity industry, change is inevitable. Monthly bonuses are currently on track for the same range as last year so there has not been a 75% reduction. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

I think they still give away snacks?

Cons

The CEO appears to have some kind of dementia as he frequently repeats himself on the morning meetings forgetting what he had told the entire staff previously. The salaries have been changed and it is very easy for the higher ups to "reorganize" so you are no longer needed regardless of tenure. This is basically a disguised lay-off. It seem that VISTA has no idea who actually built this company.

Since we are still growing, a lot of items are repeated during Daily Briefings so new Knowsters are kept in the loop. Compensation plans have changed, and we are working on updating them based on employee feedback for 2025. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
