Pros

Nice, smart coworkers. Good work/life balance. Good benefits like daily lunch, free health insurance.

Cons

Employees across the WHOLE company are unhappy, not just DEs. Enormous pay inequality which defeats the purpose of joining a 'startup' early. Employees who have been here longer are undervalued and underpaid compared to new hires in the last year. Way to appreciate our hard work. Executives are obsessed with how they look in front of other execs and don't listen. No transparency in decision making. Needless to say there is low morale everywhere. They sell you hard and don't deliver. What you are told during your interview process is NOT what you get.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
