Pros

Wages are fair, and in line with others.

Cons

Where to start? First of all, if you see positive reviews about this company, you can be assured they are absolutely fake - people are paid to write positive reviews. I worked there for less than six months. If you are there for six weeks, or even six days, you will come to the same conclusion. I decided to leave. I just could not work in an environment like this. Labour is not appreciated. It was soul sapping watching the way people are treated and watching the CEO and his cronies run a good company into the ground. If you care to read through all of these reviews, eliminating the ones he or his “Amigos” wrote, there is one common theme - the CEO is terrible. When I was interviewing for my current job, I was asked “why do you want to leave SecurityScorecard”. I simply responded with “please take a look at Glassdoor”. Aleksandr Yampolskiy is ill-suited for the job he has. He believes he, and his “Amigos”, about four people, are good leaders - they are not. Many of them have never really worked anywhere else. Aleksandr Yampolskiy constantly refers to himself as “CEO”, otherwise nobody will believe it. He is terrible at his job. Aleksandr Yampolskiy hides behind antagonistic emails, sent at all hours of the night, on weekends, on holidays, merely to see who will be willing to enter into a public and antagonistic email debate - all of this in full view of subordinates and peers. He is nothing more than a bully who is only enabled by his tenuous position. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, almost daily, shamelessly posts LinkedIn messages, selfie included, so that people might care to know who he is. Aleksandr Yampolskiy thinks he is a business guinness. He is far from it. Aleksandr Yampolskiy appoints leaders based on their willinging to suck-up to him. Most notable is his puppet “President”. This “President” seems to want to pretend he is tough, even ruthless, so that when he is licking the boots of his master, he gets the attention he so desires. This was a rudderless ship who costs time and money with his constant product development misdirections. I suspect it still is. This company has good offerings that really do have the ability to make the world a safer place. It just will NOT happen with this leadership in place. If this company’s board of directors think he is doing a good job, they are not paying attention.

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.
