Pros

The talent, ambition, and drive found among individuals in the company is impressive and inspiring. The company operates at the frontier of an emerging industry which creates exciting opportunities for innovation.

Cons

It’s clear the company no longer values its employees. People are seen as disposable—in one day, out the next. Anyone who voices concern or questions management on their decisions becomes the target of gossip among the oligarchs at the top and fodder for their the next round of layoffs. This brews a toxic underground culture that permeates the day-to-day and sours morale. Very few openly talk about it for fear of being the next target. If you’re in the executive team’s inner circle, you’ll do fine here. Otherwise, heed the warnings and take your talent elsewhere. Only those that drink the Kool-Aid have a future here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The key to our success is our commitment to our customers and employees so we are sorry to hear your experience with Scorecard was not great. We encourage employees to reach out to their HRBP directly with feedback, but we also seek feedback anonymously through engagement surveys. We also recently hired a Learning & Belonging Director to improve and enhance our culture.

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.
