Remote work a plus but toxic culture

Pros

Remote first and work from home treated as the default. Security training is excellent: practical, fun and really valuable.

Cons

Coming here through acquisition has been the most demoralizing experience of my career. I can only say I agree with what a lot of the other commenters are saying.

Pros

You will gain fast, high-volume experience and a clear understanding of how poor structure and misaligned leadership impact execution. Individual contributors work extremely hard and carry a disproportionate amount of the company’s actual output.

Cons

In my experience, the company operates with a level of disorganization that consistently undermines its own teams. Leadership decisions often created an environment that felt psychologically unsafe, where employees were treated as interchangeable rather than invested in. There was a consistent gap between what leadership communicated and what was actually practiced. Expectations were high, but support, alignment, and follow-through were not. High-performing employees were routinely pushed beyond sustainable limits without meaningful recognition or long-term investment, which led to ongoing burnout and turnover. The company appears to operate with a startup mindset, but without the discipline or structure required at its scale, resulting in inefficiencies that directly impact both employees and product outcomes.
