Pros
Do. Not. Work. Here. Do not even apply here. When I interviewed, I specifically referenced Glassdoor reviews and layoffs, and was promised that things had changed, and that I shouldn't be worried about negative reviews (or further layoffs). Alas, I was wrong, my life's been upended, and now I will add my 1-star rating on top of everyone else's. I had multiple offers to choose from and was misled to believe that Socure was a safe bet. Pros: Benefits and pay were competitive, fully remote work, and they have an innovative product that could have lots of applications. Working-level colleagues were wonderful.
Cons
(1) Why hire someone to let them go weeks later? (2) The distinct lack of company culture was astounding: how can you build an organization around a product that alleges to promote diversity and have no avenues for seeing your employees as actual people with actual interests? No DEI initiatives or recognition, no social slack channels, no place to organically connect with colleagues (as a 100% remote company). Furthermore, the absence of company dedication to a diverse workforce is shocking given how often they preach about helping underrepresented groups get approved for financial services/ID verification. It would be interesting to see what groups were most impacted by these layoffs. (3) Even within a short amount of time, I was able to deduce that executive leadership was full of politicking and drama. People did not support or approve of leadership, basically validating everything that was discussed in prior Glassdoor reviews. (4) Poor severance packages.
