Socure reviews

- Intense growth period means very difficult to strike healthy work-life balance—my PTO is rarely actually "time off," since I'm expected (without saying) to be available even on vacation, and taking PTO right now is generally frowned upon (again, without saying, but heavily implied by management and higher-ups) - Few opportunities to move up inside team/company—I'm regularly asking for more responsibility/training but am turned down 98% of the time since no one has the time to dedicate - Company culture is going through an intense shift that corresponds with the rapid growth—I'm concerned that I'll just be another number in a big company as Socure grows out of its start-up phase, and there's not much of an effort to develop company culture from the ground-up - Company all-hands and product meetings are required for everyone, even if the subject matter doesn't correspond at all to your role/team. The calls last for 2+ hours, and there's a quiz afterwards to check if you've been listening—which seems a bit backward for where we're at, especially if we're all adult professionals. - Diversity and inclusion is being put on the way back burner in favor of rapid growth. If these elements are included as we're growing, we run the risk of not having them at all or just having them superficially. Plus, I've heard some perturbing comments from management about other cultures that seem flippant but are actually a bit hurtful.

I’m not sure how I feel about Socure yet. When I started a 9ish months ago people were more excited about the company and their work but that definitely took a turn recently. Everyone explicitly tells other people how much they have on their plate and how burnout they are which doesn’t seem to be a good sign when you hear that across all teams. That’s concerning. The company is doubling in size in 2021 and they expect the company to grow even more in 2022 but I’m not sure they are taking care of their employees as much as they used to. Everyone dumps everything on you and the perks and salary that once felt like good pros aren’t that great anymore. They are taking away the WFH allowance and the salaries arent as good as other companies in the industry. The company doesn’t have a lot of diversity Some higher ups are rude to lower level employees The company is not keeping up with volume of work coming in with the growth. Most people are very overworked.
