Thanks so much! I love your comment about company culture. That is something we have worked hard at enhancing and preserving, because it is so unique. As you know a lot of people are drawn to us because of the purposeful work that we do, and it is the same purpose that encourages collaboration. both outside the company ("Human Collective") and inside. We need to do a better job of recognizing that cross-team collaboration, and we will! Alexa Raad, Chief People Officer

Pros

- Benefits and stipends - Pay - (Some) people :)

Cons

There are too many to name. If you're thinking of joining HUMAN Security, don't. There is no strategy, no direction, Product functions like a mess and there's too much coddling. The company feel overly reactive, priorities shift quickly and teams are expected to adjust in real time. Cross functional alignment is not always strong, which can create confusion around ownership, timelines, and decision making. Depending on the team, communication from leadership may not always provide enough clarity on long term strategy, leaving employees to navigate ambiguity more than they should. At times, high performers can end up carrying a disproportionate amount of the operational load, especially in roles that sit between teams and functions.
