Not a culture that values security

Pros

If you are a security professional who enjoys burnout AND being tasked to secure a SaaS offering with no budget, no training, and little top-down support while reporting to non-security management deep within an engineering org who does not understand security, then this job is for you.

Cons

If you want to work for a company that prioritizes security and takes it seriously, then this may not be the job for you.

Smarsh continues to be in a high growth mode and although that comes with change, we remain anchored in our core values: People First, Inspire Confidence and Embrace the Impossible. However, we’re disappointed we didn't get the chance to work with you during your time at Smarsh to improve your experience in a meaningful way. We believe we have a culture that prioritizes and values security. In fact, over the last year we have grown our InfoSec team by 40%, including the addition of new roles within the team. If you are open to it, we would really appreciate hearing any additional details or suggestions you have for improvement. Please contact me or your HR Business Partner if you would like to continue the conversation, we will listen. At Smarsh, continuous feedback and improvement are core to our ability to succeed.

Thank you for your commitment over the past three years, we know how much growth and change has come your way. We agree, Smarsh values and supports remote working, offers a varied tech stack and pays well. Running down our technical debt is top of mind, and we have seen how it can build up in a software company growing at our pace. We acknowledge what needs to be done and have made a significant investment in people, process and systems to address. Please follow up directly with your leader on where we can make the most significant impact in that debt – engineers like you can offer some of the best insights!
