Pros

I'd like to share my experience of working at BeyondTrust for two years, then leaving for 6 months, then returning again. To provide some perspective, I bring a 20+ year sales career ranging from startups to F100 companies as an enterprise and commercial sales rep in the software market. As a company, BeyondTrust is highly successful, privately-held cybersecurity software company specializing in identity security related to credentials, privilege and access. They have analyst-leading products in at least two categories: Privileged Access Management and Remote Access thanks to their password vaulting and rotation and remote support solutions. BeyondTrust's technology stack impressive, and that is of utmost importance. Leaders like Morey Haber and Marc Maiffret represent the caliber of people who have helped define the identity security market over the past decade and have brought their A-game to help distinguish BT from the legacy players (CyberArk/Thycotic). From an Executive level, CEO Janine Seebeck is a hands-on leader who has the vision and experience to lead the BT ship into the next chapter. From a job satisfaction standpoint, BeyondTrust has exceeded nearly all of my expectations. Workplace environment, culture of excellence, and career development are a few areas that jump out at me. Health benefits, remote work, 401K options are all very good as well. Living in the most expensive zip codes in the nation, the salaries are not going to be the highest. But their bonus structure and (for salespeople like myself) variable compensation structure is more than fair. In my boomerang case, I left for a big raise at a competitor, but a toxic, ego-driven work environment wasn't worth the money. Coming back to BeyondTrust has made me realize what a unique culture they have built that closely mirrors their core values of: Teamwork, Integrity, Passion, Humility, Accountability and Results.

Cons

I can only speak for sales roles, but compensation packages may be lower than similar roles at other companies.

So glad to have you back! We have a good number of boomerangs every year and it is because of experiences like yours. I appreciate the callout of our high caliber leaders like Janine, Morey, and Marc. It is amazing to have such drivers of the industry in one company who not only help direct how we support our clients but create the culture that you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback on the pay. We consistently review through the year to remain competitive but are always trying to improve.

Pros

Where to begin? The team I work with day in and day out is one of the absolute best! We are serious enough to GSD but know when to take a step back to breathe or laugh. Leadership is solid at the top; from Janine Seebeck as CEO throughout the ELT. Change. It is constant, which I need to feel motivated. And all the other people I encounter on a daily basis across all of our business units. To be able to partner, collaborate and learn along side so many different people in various roles is a key component to why I stay.

Cons

BT can be a hard place to work; we're fast paced and constantly morphing. If working hard isn't something you want to do, then this wouldn't be the place you'd thrive.

Thank you for the review. I agree that our leadership is great, but what really makes this place special is our people. They are talented, supportive, driven, and friendly. Our CEO says, we take our jobs and our commitments seriously but ourselves less so, which creates a unique environment which to work hard but also enjoy yourself. Great callout on the skip levels. It is a great way to dive deeper into the organization. Appreciate your being part of the team.

Pros

BeyondTrust provided meaningful opportunities to work in a fast-growing cybersecurity company, take on significant responsibility, and build experience during a period of rapid expansion. There are talented employees throughout the organization, and the company’s growth can create opportunities for people who have strong internal sponsorship.

Cons

The culture can be highly political and relationship-driven. Advancement often appears to depend more on visibility, internal alliances, and proximity to senior leadership than on performance, experience, or subject-matter expertise. There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes positioning, gossip, and credit-taking. Employees may receive support publicly but encounter very different behavior privately. Trust between peers and leaders can therefore be difficult to establish. Some senior HR leaders appear more focused on managing upward and maintaining favor with the executive team than on advocating for their employees, challenging poor decisions, or providing candid leadership. Employees should not assume that strong performance or loyalty will result in support when difficult situations arise. The organization also has a tendency to place people into roles before they have the experience required to perform them effectively, sometimes seemingly as a cost-saving measure. This can leave inexperienced leaders making major decisions while more qualified employees are overlooked. The result is inconsistency, weak accountability, and leaders presenting confidence without having the operational knowledge to support it. I also observed behavior that could feel dismissive or chauvinistic, particularly when strong women challenged decisions or advocated directly for themselves. These behaviors were not always addressed consistently.
