Pros

Working at DigiCert is a fulfilling experience largely due to the exceptional leadership provided by my manager, who fosters a supportive environment where autonomy and creativity flourish. The freedom of remote work enables me to maintain a healthy work-life balance while staying productive and focused. Additionally, the company's culture promotes collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity, creating a vibrant and dynamic workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. Overall, DigiCert provides an enriching professional environment where I can thrive and grow personally and career-wise.

Cons

- Process and organization may need refinement due to growing pains. - Last-minute requests and deadlines can occur due to the absence of established processes. - Lack of a dedicated research team for validation could stem from a gap in understanding.

Dear current employee, Thank you so much for taking time to provide a thorough and meaningful review of your year+ as a staff designer at DigiCert. We appreciate your recommendations of the company as an employer, our leadership and the business outlook as well as your thoughts on the fulfillment of working at DigiCert and being remote. Your insights let us know that the CARE culture we work hard to actualize is both seen and experienced. The DigiCert People Team obsesses over our customers – employees – and do all that we can to provide an optimal employee experience in a positive culture. That said, we note your feedback about processes and last-minute requests. As you know, another culture driver – relentless execution – sometimes leads to new processes and quick turnaround requests as the company grows and expands. But we will continue to share that feedback and work with all teams to improve processes and make the employee experience the best that we can. For your feedback to managers, we would love to discuss this further with you. We do try to provide an onboarding experience that is both engaging and informative, but we recognize that we may be able to improve by better aligning work expectations with our CARE culture and company objectives. Please feel free to reach out to a member of the DigiCert People Team, if you would like to expound upon your feedback or provide specific examples that will help us to learn and improve. We look forward to hearing from you. Regards, 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).
