Pros

Good pay and some smart people

Cons

Too political and not a real security company. It is sales focus and they have zero investment into their own technology. Customer outages are too frequent with the sales team holding the bag to face off with the customers. The senior sales management team has lost sight of what the roadmap is and where they want to be. This company could do well if the right management are in place, but that will never happen.

Dear current employee, As a DigiCert employee, we hope you know how much we value your contribution to the company. We love that you recognize the compensation and other employees as positive aspects of the company. It concerns us that you see the company as political and not as a real security company. We are planning large investments in new technology in 2023. We recognize this as an area in which we can improve, and we are allocating resources to do so. And, with our new CEO and renewed commitment to growth and efficiency, we expect to have a strong and aligned focus on becoming as the global leader of digital trust. We will share details about these plans and updates throughout the coming year, and we hope you will see improvements. If you have more feedback about these plans or the direction of the company, we invite you share your thoughts with the People team. We value your input and want to make sure we address your concerns. Thank you for being a part of our team, DigiCert People Team

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).
