Strong product undermined by cultural deficiencies

Pros

Remote work Competitive compensation (depending on role) Cybersecurity industry exposure

Cons

Everything not named in the "pros" section. Significant cultural issues stem from leadership teams, specifically in the CX function, where leaders have formed a sense of being untouchable (which they genuinely might be). A lack of oversight in this regard has fostered a hostile work environment. Company's growth and potential are currently being stifled by a management style that prioritizes ego over professional conduct and employee retention.

Pros

Worked closely with the three co-founders and CEO Howard Ting in the early years, helping build the company from the ground up. Being close to leadership, engineering, and core decision-making was a huge learning experience. The founding team and early engineering group set a strong tone — humble, sharp, and focused on building something real. As the company scaled, I spent more time working with Sales, Sales Engineering, Finance, and Customer Experience. The environment was intense and fast-moving, but highly execution-driven. Expectations were clear, ownership was real, and teams were aligned around outcomes. Customer interaction was a major highlight. Talking directly with customers, understanding their security goals, and feeding that insight back into the product made the work tangible and high-impact. You could see customer feedback directly influence product direction. Loved working with the individual AEs and SEs day to day. Tight-knit, high-trust teams where people genuinely had each other’s backs. It felt like family, without losing focus on performance. Strong leadership across teams — John Loya, who runs the SE team, is an excellent leader and a real advocate for his team. High standards, strong ownership, and a culture that valued getting things done. Intense at times, but we had a lot of fun along the way.

Cons

Startup intensity isn’t for everyone. Priorities can shift quickly and the pace can be demanding.

Pros

Talented engineering & product teams.

Cons

This was one of the most difficult work environments I’ve experienced. Communication from leadership was minimal, expectations changed frequently, and support was inconsistent. Performance improvement plans were used aggressively, and in my experience, they didn’t reflect consistent standards across the team. Career advancement appeared to depend more on internal dynamics than on actual performance. The technology itself is strong, but the culture and leadership approach made it a difficult place to succeed.
