Pros

- Team mates are great, very talented people - A sense of mission when pursuing fraud, and an intent to do good on the internet. - If solving puzzles through data and forensics is your thing, this is the place. Combating cybersecurity problems is a constant hunt, an ever changing matching of wits vs. fraudsters. - For infrastructure and big-data engineers, there are lots of classic problems of scale and optimization using modern tools. - Has an ambitious leadership team who want to make a "company of consequence." So, big hills to climb, some stress and toil to break into and win new markets, but can be rewarding.

Cons

The company is best for people who are into permanent remote work -- people who can be self-directed and motivated across the long haul without having an in-person community around them. It's a certain stage of startup, and so not for everyone. You have to be ready to deal with ambiguity, a bit of chaos, and frequent change. And it's growing up -- gradually replacing classic startup issues with more structure. Some people who wanted an earlier stage company have left us, some who expected a fully mature company didn't fit.

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.
