Pros

I have been in sales a long time, and this is by far the best sales organization I have ever worked for. The sales training is truly top notch, and to be led by an amazing female CRO makes it incredibly worthwhile. Goals are attainable, with my entire team on track to hit over 100% to quota this year. There is an infectious spirit, camaraderie, and very open and honest company culture that people thrive in. This is a company that cares about its people and one can truly grow and bolster their career. If given the opportunity to work with HackerOne, I highly recommend it. I truly love my job and feel incredibly grateful to be a part of this company.

Cons

Pay could be a bit better, but they are currently analyzing and taking employee feedback very seriously.

Pros

- The coworkers are genuinely amazing: smart, kind, and deeply supportive. Many people truly care about doing the right thing and helping each other succeed. - The mission is meaningful. Supporting the global community of ethical hackers is powerful, and the work has real impact on improving security across the internet.

Cons

- Since the arrival of the new CEO, nearly the entire C-suite has been replaced in under a year. This has created an environment of fear, risk aversion, and excessive CYA behavior. - HackerOne used to value transparency and open dialogue. “An honest question gets an honest answer” was more than a motto—it was lived. Today, people are afraid to ask honest questions, and answers are often vague corporate speak rather than real explanations. - A new AI engineer role was created with a pay band roughly 40% higher than existing software engineers. In practice, some software engineers are doing the same work for significantly less pay, which has caused frustration and morale issues. - The company once had a strong, people-first culture. That culture has eroded to the point where layoffs have occurred while employees were on maternity leave. - A newly hired VP in engineering focused on AI appears more interested in empire-building and optics with the C-suite than in empowering teams. Accountability is demanded without corresponding agency, and blame is often pushed downward when decisions don’t work out.
