Pros
Some of the people who work there, but most of them leave.
Cons
If you’re seriously considering a role at SecurityScorecard, I strongly encourage you to read beyond the five-star Glassdoor reviews. Many of those glowing endorsements don’t reflect the real experience of working here — and in some cases, they are either inauthentic or were written at the request of senior leadership shortly after onboarding. That’s part of the reason why so many former employees feel compelled to share their honest stories — to help others go in with eyes wide open. The company describes its culture as “strong,” but in practice, that often means micromanagement at nearly every level. Leadership — particularly the CEO — operates from a top-down, “we know best” mentality, which leaves very little space for real collaboration or autonomy. There’s also a lot of inconsistency in direction. One week the focus might be on a book the CEO just read, the next it’s a new trend or framework everyone’s suddenly expected to incorporate — whether it makes sense for their role or not. This constant shift in priorities creates confusion and burnout. Another frustration is the recurring “drop everything” culture. Employees are frequently pulled off their actual work to respond to surveys or training/enablement exercises from leadership, often framed as high priority — only for those tasks to disappear without any follow-up. And then there’s the turnover — which is wildly high. Leadership tends to spin this as a sign that they’re just “hiring the best,” but if that were true, they wouldn’t constantly be replacing people. The truth is, talented individuals leave because they’re not set up to succeed, and many roles simply go unfilled due to cost-cutting measures disguised as financial discipline and a do more with less culture. It’s also an all or nothing culture, if the company doesn’t hit their aggressive goals that you have no input on, that means you also as an individual didn’t succeed at your job. There are smart people here, and the mission sounds great on paper. But in reality, the day-to-day experience often doesn’t live up to the promise. Look elsewhere for employment.
