Pros

BitSight created a market for security ratings from nothing and rapidly emerged as the market leader. It is a fundamentally new and different product and tons of hard problems to solve. The business is growing exponentially, which means there is a ton of opportunity for leadership and career growth. The engineering team is a diverse group of smart people and there is tons to learn from each other.

Cons

Its a startup, so they will give you as much responsibility as you can handle, which will push you to edge of your comfort zone. The business is rapidly expanding, which brings plenty of pressure to succeed.

Pros

The engineering team has a lot of really smart people with a variety of perspectives. This helps the team innovate rapidly and make progress towards meeting the business goals. The team is a good mix of keen people straight out of college all the way through to people who have been doing security for years and have done multiple successful startups. The company is well funded, and the track record of the CEO makes me confident that the company will be successful and hence financially rewarding for me.

Cons

A bunch of smart opinionated people don't always agree on everything (hah!). There can be some arguments -- especially between the more experienced members. The office location has its problems -- the traffic is already bad in the evening and developers are building another thousand (??) apartments on the street. It is going to become a nightmare.

Pros

BitSight is a great company that works in the fast-growing cyber security space. The solution is innovative and the employees are motivated and smart professionals. I think that all departments appreciate the hard work put in by others. We truly are building a world-class product. Some may say that BitSight is a sales driven culture but I think that is fine. As with any startup, BitSight is focused on increasing sales to benefit all stakeholders, employees included. Even with a focus on creating value and is a rigorous work environment, management is open to new ways of thinking and creative ideas.

Cons

Growing pains - limited office space, lots of work, long hiring process. BitSight employees are incredibly smart and talented at what they do. This often means that they have very high standards when hiring which is generally a positive. Sometimes however it can take a long time to fill positions.
