A toxic mess

Recommend

Pros

Competitive pay and decent benefits. Fully remote with a monthly WFH stipend, plus a learning stipend of $250/year for books and courses (it was $500 last year though). I worked with some very driven and smart people (who are mostly either burnt out, unhappy, or now laid off).

Cons

All the other negative reviews are SPOT ON and I would NOT recommend working here. Your time and talent will be wasted trying to figure out how to deal with janky tech or fighting the latest fire or updating OKRs every week. Socure brags about hypergrowth, yet have had two rounds of surprise layoffs within 6 months. Clearly, leadership cannot be trusted. The CEO also regularly berates and insults people in front of others on calls, Slack, and emails...ask yourself, would you want to work for somebody like that? Those coming from more mature and stable companies would be appalled with how this company operates. It's no surprise that many people have a hard time being motivated and productive here. And despite what the marketing says, their tech actually isn't very impressive and certainly not "state of the art" (far from it).

Lots of Layoffs

Pros

None. They entice you in with a high salary and seemly good bonuses/stocks/benefits.

Cons

Company brings you in with promise of good pay, stock options and bonuses then lays you off before you can obtain those. Lay offs were not done based on performance but based off of title/income range. 98% of my team was laid off and each of us were there under a year so we didn't get any stock options or bonuses.

Pros

- Compensation was decent. Although by the hours I was effectively working 2.5 jobs and I should have been paid more. - Exposure to many fintech clients

Cons

- WLB is abysmal. I worked a 70 hour week over Christmas. I worked 7am-10pm for weeks on end. Due to other deadlines, you have to ship the fastest, junkiest solution you can then end up supporting it forever. - You don't build any actual skills or develop any valuable code, you just become well versed in their specific products and upsell clients - Infrastructure is unreliable but deadlines are strict - it's massively frustrating to have some new high priority emergency fall into your lap but be powerless to resolve it because something is down - Legitimately everyone is burnt out, and nobody cares - Literally no code collaboration - Forced to use both R and Python (even though they say you can use either) - Nearly everyone has worked here for only a little over a year. Nobody is an expert - No documentation whatsoever
