Pros

Data that the world needs Censys could become highly successful

Cons

Every couple of years, Censys fires most of the C-level and this just happened again. The remaining C level (beyond a founder) is a new CTO, who is an extreme micromanager, has zero charisma, and frequently demeans people.

Pros

The only nice thing about this company is the people on the HR team are nice and helpful.

Cons

You are on a team but there is no teamwork, you work in silo on single problem that management most likely doesn't care about or understand. If you need to deploy anything outside of your team it will take months. If you are not part of the people that have been there more than 3 years don't even bother pitching an idea. They say that they are adapting with the changes in AI, that is a lie, only a handful of people even understand machine learning.
