Pros

I had a great time at BitSight and grew immensely as an engineer there. The leadership and teams are extremely talented and focused on being the leaders in the market. You'll work with people from diverse backgrounds and there is always something new to learn. -Working with the market leader that helped define the market itself -A well funded and established startup, but still with plenty of opportunities to move up for the ambitious. -Being well established, the equity is really promising. -Modern tech stack. Additionally, management is not afraid at all to tackle upgrading legacy technologies. -There are tons of problems to solve so there are tons of opportunities to move around and work on different problems. -Free catered lunches on Fridays (free food is extremely rare in the RTP), unlimited snacks and drinks every day. -Compared to other local Raleigh startups, the compensation is good.

Cons

-The Raleigh office is small and could use some more love. -With the company rapidly growing, they need to update their bonus and 401k structure.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities for cross-functional work/working with senior-level SMEs - EOY Bonus (usually) - Great benefits (Flexible PTO policy/stipends)

Cons

- Exec suite does not care about you! - Pay is not competitive; was paid significantly less relative to market for experience (didn't realize this until too late, mgmt wouldn't adjust salary either) - No cost-of-living raises over the 2 years I worked there (No raise at all, ever, actually! And no support to be promoted from within) - Layoffs occur twice a year, and everyone is replaceable
