Pros

Talented people, most of whom fully commit to a fun office culture

Cons

Poor leadership has created an office full of puzzled talent left to make it up as they go. If/when processes, priorities, feedback, and deadlines are defined at all, they often change on a whim, creating unnecessary work that costs teams time and money. Very much a startup, Securly hides behind a youthful office environment teeming with energy, but lacks the necessary guidance to spearhead success. To corral a team of fresh college graduates is an ambitious undertaking. Add misaligned management, zero employee training, inconsistent communication, poorly defined expectations, and a product that clearly hit the market prematurely, and you’ve got a recipe for failure. The company is scrambling and employees feel it.

Thank you sharing this feedback. Incidentally, as of last week we brought in a technical project manager, a product manager and are now considering a marketing manager for the specific operation you are most likely referring to. I am sorry this didn't happen fast enough to help you while you were part of our journey. Thank you so much for making a dent while you were here.

Pros

Intelligent and positive coworkers, respectful work-life balance, contributing to a meaningful mission.

Cons

Even with the best of intentions there is some micromanaging and in my opinion a changing but still unhealthy focus on the dollars and not necessarily on the impact.
