Pros

1. Intelligent and motivated team. 2) Fast pace environment with a fast growing company 3) Decent pay with generous vacation allotment

Cons

1) Shift in the Seattle office is 15:00-23:00 so having a social life or relationship is challenging. 2) Poor work/life balance. It is nearly impossible to do your job without coming in early, skipping breaks and attending several pre-work conference calls per week, not to mention working on extra projects on personal time. 3) The work is relentless, intense and filled with violent and disturbing content. 4) The burnout rate is quite high. It seems as though everyone quits after a year or two.

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
