Dear Former Employee, Nice pros! We love to hear that our people are great to work with and most importantly that you feel you can balance your whole life, not just the work. Appreciate the feedback on compensation. As we’ve mentioned in other posts, we do a bi-annual review of our compensation, using external companies like Radford, Mercer and WorldatWork, to ensure that we are keeping pace with changes in market for companies of similar size, revenue and across all our locations individually. Coupled with our pay-for-performance culture, we make sure our people are rewarded effectively. On the old tech: great feedback! From a product perspective we have a very exciting roadmap for this year that is elevating our technology for our customers and we are working on updated systems for our people internally (e.g. Appttus investment in FY21). I’d really encourage you to speak with a member of Engineering leadership or even reach out to our CTO Jason directly on your feedback regarding our tech, especially if you have suggestions for how we can do better here – whether you are a current or former employee. Alternatively, please feel free to post your suggestions via our SpeakUp program, which you can access here https://app.integritycounts.ca/org/digicert. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Pros

I have loved my team and manager since day 1. I stay because DigiCert continues to provide me with professional development opportunities. I began as a file clerk and now manage a team doing complex operational efficiency work. They supported me through an MBA and each year I take at least one course and attend at least one industry event to help expand my skill and reach. The pay is average, BUT when you add in the value of the above-average benefits, the total remuneration package is great.

Cons

DigiCert is owned by Private Equity. If you have not worked for a PE portfolio company before, it means they focus solely on making money and stripping out what they deem as fluff (which I deem as retention levers, like company parties and swag).
