Pros

OK salary, WFH stipend, decent healthcare

Cons

I’ve made a lot of decisions in my lifetime. Working for socure was single-handedly the worst decision I’ve ever made in my life. I left a great job for the money, for the challenge - a new opportunity. Every single day at Socure was horrendous, i honestly dreaded waking up every day in the morning knowing i had to show up. Getting laid off was the best thing to happen to me. I honestly believe it was someone or something greater looking out for me. I feel genuinely sorry for everyone who remains as i know how horrible it is to work here and wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. It’s toxic from the top down, you will be lonely, isolated, unsupported, repeatedly sold a fake dream… The voluntary churn rate is unbelievable. I know countless people who quit 2 weeks in because it was such a sick work environment.

Pros

Socure is offering good benefits and decent compensation. A lot of people I have collaborated with are super nice and good professionals.

Cons

All I wanted is to build things as an engineer. But I never felt enabled to do so at Socure, since there is tons of bureaucracy, making cross-functional collaboration extremely difficult. Another factor - almost every 2 weeks priority were changed, so any work I would do will become deprioritized and irrelevant. It made it hard to get focused to be able to get to the finish line. Management loves to micromanage and enable others to do so, making the work environment pretty toxic. As a result, I felt tons of anxiety and depression from this job and I had nothing else to do but submit my resignation. I have never regretted my decision. I do not recommend working here and honestly haven't seen such a nightmare anywhere else.

A toxic mess

Pros

Competitive pay and decent benefits. Fully remote with a monthly WFH stipend, plus a learning stipend of $250/year for books and courses (it was $500 last year though). I worked with some very driven and smart people (who are mostly either burnt out, unhappy, or now laid off).

Cons

All the other negative reviews are SPOT ON and I would NOT recommend working here. Your time and talent will be wasted trying to figure out how to deal with janky tech or fighting the latest fire or updating OKRs every week. Socure brags about hypergrowth, yet have had two rounds of surprise layoffs within 6 months. Clearly, leadership cannot be trusted. The CEO also regularly berates and insults people in front of others on calls, Slack, and emails...ask yourself, would you want to work for somebody like that? Those coming from more mature and stable companies would be appalled with how this company operates. It's no surprise that many people have a hard time being motivated and productive here. And despite what the marketing says, their tech actually isn't very impressive and certainly not "state of the art" (far from it).
