Pros

PTO flexibility Good people in IC positions, some good managers.

Cons

The new senior leadership is awful (except for the one female VP) The new board/powers that be are squeezing the company dry, disregarding people's thoughts, feelings and complaints. People are leaving en masse. Complete disregard for culture, good working environment, and company vibe - this used to be a staple of White Ops/HUMAN Security. CEO does not seem to care anymore. No equity except for a select few. Sideways responses to any questions or concerns. New leadership only cares about revenue. Very difficult to advance. Highly recommend looking somewhere else.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to put down your thoughts. As you mentioned we are growing into a 'more serious business' and during this stage things have changed a bit. I know how important the culture and engagement are within HUMAN and the People team as well as the leadership team strive to keep this top of mind with everything we do.

Pros

Lots of energy. I had the opportunity to meet with some talented people. General sense of autonomy. Modern tech stack and tooling.

Cons

Lack of consistency in company vision and direction. Poor job security. Expect to get laid off even you meet the performance goals. Cynical, profit-focused leadership. Unreliable middle management. The Detection team gets all the cloud (not a con if you're in the detection team). Meetings for hours. You might not get to take lunch breaks.

Feedback is a gift, so thank you. I am sorry if you had a disagreeable time during your tenure with us. Thank you for this review. I’m sad to see you’re no longer with us and some of your feedback was tough to read. On the positive side, it is nice to see that you had a good experience with our team, enjoyed autonomy, and appreciated our modern tech/tools. With respect to your stated concerns: As someone who joined HUMAN in May, I am happy that as the leadership team, we are aligned on the company strategy and product vision, as well as the attributes that make up an exceptional workplace We're growing, and have already taken steps to recognize our best and brightest across all departments, plus we have engaged our folks to help us improve from within - as an example, our employee experience and culture hackers to feed new ideas and jumpstart programs As a for-profit enterprise we recognize that being profitable allows us to survive, help our people to thrive and to fund our mission which is to safeguard the integrity of the internet. Just look up how we discovered and then worked with industry to bring down the Pareto botnet Yes, work-life balance in Tech is hard, and in a pandemic it is harder still. There are a few programs we are actively working to rollout that helps We are working hard to be the kind of company we all would be proud to be a part of, as a current employee or an alumni. Warm regards, Alexa Raad, Chief People, Purpose and Policy Officer.

Pros

- truly the smartest people in the industry - people are working on really difficult problems and producing some seriously mind-bogglingly creative solutions - strongest mission driven-culture out of anywhere I've worked; buy-in for the White Ops mission is 200% percent - smart as a whip CEO who is a true nerd's nerd - well respected in the industry for SIVT/fraud detection

Cons

- VERY strong personalities at the top make it challenging for others to contribute or have meaningful impact. - steep learning curve with little room for error - too much time spent planning that by the time development starts, resources have been pulled onto another priority - little support for career and professional development - lots of "morning-of" decisions to WFH and people coming into the office 1-2PM with little accountability of such; doesn't make the rest of the office feel very motivated
