Socure reviews

There is a severe lack of structure in terms of organizationally how to scale and how to hire the right people. There isn't a well defined hiring system to bring in talent with the same bar. Some teams have really high bars and some have really low bars. Additionally, Higher level roles have a very low bar of entry. There are many high level roles filled by people with very limited experience. This creates vacuums in leadership in key product areas and technical direction. Because of this, there is an enormous amount of tech debt and logistical incompetency.

Socure has become one of the most toxic environments I’ve ever experienced. Over the last couple of years, inexperienced leaders have been brought in, many of whom seem more focused on internal politics and pushing out those who actually understand the product, customers, and market. There’s a culture of public humiliation and bullying, often happening in Slack channels visible to the entire company. The CEO and several senior leaders regularly embarrass employees in front of others, creating a fear-driven and aggressive workplace. The direction of the company changes constantly, priorities flip weekly, and there’s zero sense of stability or trust. Work-life balance is non-existent, and morale is at an all-time low. Even though the job market is tough, there are far better places to work if you care about your mental health and sanity.
