Dear current DigiCert employee, Thank you for taking the time to complete a Glassdoor review about your time as a senior software engineer at DigiCert. Your four years with the company have undoubtedly given you a great deal of perspective about how the company has grown and evolved in the last few years. It’s good to know you appreciate your coworkers, the work-life balance the company offers, and the work ethic. We try to hire the best employees who will further our inclusive culture and we strive to allow everyone to bring their whole selves to work while understanding that people have lives outside of the office that need to be understood and respected. We note your cons regarding lateral hires versus internal hires, lean teams and managerial role hires versus technical team hires. We do make efforts to hire within, creating learning and growth opportunities for all employees through LinkedIn Learning, DigiCert University and other growth programs. We also acknowledge that, as we grow, we sometimes identify skills and experience that are best found in people coming into the company. But there are many opportunities to grow and lead for those within. Know that we understand the growth areas you identified, and we take them seriously. We will do all that we can to address them and invite you to continue to share your thoughts and experiences with members of the DigiCert People Team. We are here to listen and assist. Best, 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).
