Pros

Thought about it and nothing comes to mind to include here as a pro.

Cons

To many to name, let's start with transparency and politics. Hands down this is the most political company that I have worked for in the past 25 years of my career. Let me keep it simple, you are either part of Group A or Group B. Group A is what you have as part of product & engineering which reports to a former sales person. Group B is what you have as part of the sales, legal, marketing, and finance which reports to the current CFO. Group A doesn't get along with Group B which means zero productivity, zero transparency but 100% politics. I didn't work with group A so cant comment about their internal issues but I can tell you since we have been without a CEO; group B has been nothing short of a circus. No one communicates about what the strategy is and all they care about is keeping the quotes rolling as long as possible at any cost. And when you speak up (if you speak up) retaliation will be guaranteed. What a relief it has been since I left this mess of an org.

Dear Former Employee, Thanks for taking the time to post. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and lucky to say it’s outside of the norm based on the reviews we have. We note the feedback on the Office of the CEO, but as was communicated: This was an interim measure as we appointed a new CEO. Unfortunately, your experience did not give you a great impression. From our perspective, we continue to deliver great business results, more products and enhancements than we have in the past and are growing our teams continually while our 90-day employee engagement results continue to be in the excellent range. We know we are not perfect, but no company is. We will take your feedback as part of our continuous improvement approach and recognize that sometimes the fit just isn’t right. Regardless, we wish you the best in your next step. DigiCert People Team

- Fabulous executive team with a wealth of diversity of thought - Structured goals, high expectations - Colleagues who consistently raise the bar to create a high-performance culture

Cons

Move fast and break things! The environment is competitive and demands only the best from every team member. Not a con, but be prepared to give it your all at DigiCert.

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).
