The CEO Spreads Fear and Can't Appreciate Genuine People

Pros

They helped different companies that wanted to operationalize identity risk scoring based on identities' positions and links in identity graphs.

Cons

The CEO is a terrible person who lives in a utopian world where what he thinks and does is best. This poor attitude means he has no idea how the real world works or what his people need. He also spreads fear by being rude and firing people who don't agree with everything he says. It was horrible to work for such an awful person, even if it was for the short term.

Pros

I love working for Socure every single day! I've worked in various industries for over 20 years but I must say this is the best experience I've had in terms of the autonomy i've been given and the mission that we're all aligned to. The collaboration across engineering, sales, marketing, product, data science, finance, etc has just been so heart warming and phenomenal.

Cons

We tend to focus more on the short term objectives over long term durable initiatives. We could do more to work smarter not harder.

Pros

Good pay. My colleague were nice.

Cons

I didn’t put my full real title as I’m worried since I’m still an employed here. What I will say is that this is the most toxic company I’ve ever worked at. I’m lucky that my team is good - but we all have anxiety of having to interact with Johnny. The reason why is because Johnny is a ruthless leader that has no class. He lives in a bubble, was likely raised in a bubble, and has no idea how to connect with people or encourage them to grow. He consistently berates people and makes them feel bad. Everyone is too scared of him to stand up to him because he just fires people who he doesn’t like. It’s really such a sad classic CEO whose ego is so big and where nothing will change him form behind better. My advice - don’t like the top pay tempt you. Really - go somewhere else. Long term your overall health will be better than having to work here. Johnny will randomly slack us on weekends and late at night with questions on slack with a sense of urgency. There is no work life balance here. Priorities are constantly changing. Product team is a mess - none of them taking ownership over their products and constantly passing the blame to other teams. Everyone is overworked and over stressed.
