Pros

Most bad executive leadership doesn't last more than 9 months. Time-off is approved. Remote and timezone friendly. Strong values, great mission, and you develop meaningful domain experience in a high-value field. Results matter. Competent individual contributors can do their jobs. Tenured gems are littered across teams that are more valuable than leadership realizes. Leaders are improving at communicating appropriating. Engineering has good deployment and support processes in place. Company Monthly Fridays off are the only thing holding me together.

Cons

Most good executive leadership doesn't last more than 9 months. Time-off is hard to schedule because of the high workloads. This is team and project dependent. Extremely poor equity and mediocre promotions, even for top performers. This causes resentment and burnout. I cannot recommend SecurityScorecard when there have been 2 deep and sudden layoffs within 6 months and more work without additional compensation. Long-term mindshare strength of the company is rapidly diminishing. Understand first how your performance will be measured. My advice to job-seekers, look at how long your manager and peers have been in their current roles. Tenure under 1 year is a bad sign for you and your team.

It is fantastic to hear that you are enjoying our enterprise client exposure and sales training. We know sales targets can feel demanding during peak quarters. To support you, our leadership team reviews these targets regularly, and we recently brought on a new Senior Director of Total Rewards to ensure our compensation remains fair and competitive. We are also continuously rolling out new enablement sessions and tools to help you succeed. Thank you for your hard work!

Pros

SecurityScorecard has smart, hardworking people, and there are real opportunities to take on meaningful work quickly. If you are someone who can operate independently, solve ambiguous problems, and move fast, you can have a lot of impact here. There are also pockets of strong cross-functional collaboration, especially among employees who are genuinely trying to keep the business moving despite constant change.

Cons

The biggest issue is leadership instability and inconsistent operating discipline. Priorities change quickly, ownership is often unclear, and too much critical work depends on a small number of people rather than durable processes or properly staffed teams. There is a pattern of asking employees to absorb more scope without the resources, authority, or support required to execute sustainably. Decision-making can feel reactive instead of strategic. Different teams may push overlapping initiatives without clear alignment, which creates confusion, duplicated work, and unnecessary political friction. There is also a tendency to reward urgency over planning, which leads to burnout and makes it difficult to build systems that last. Communication from leadership often feels disconnected from the reality of day-to-day execution. The company talks about transformation and innovation, but the internal operating model does not always support that ambition.

Thank you for this detailed feedback. We are grateful you highlighted our team's talent and the opportunities for meaningful impact. We are listening closely to your concerns regarding operational discipline, as we want to avoid a hero culture in favor of sustainable success. As we grow into a more mature organization, management is focused on streamlining operations and building structured processes. We are planning for our future and increasing cross-functional alignment to support everyone.
