Pros

There are no pros here. Haven’t been for a long time

Kontras

I haven't bothered to leave a review here but was saddened (but not surprised) at their recent attempts to spread disinformation here and other places like LinkedIn. More than a month after the nth layoff (hard to even keep count anymore), it has now become abundantly clear to everyone that it's all over now. The very low morale and level of disillusionment have reached new lows. Some of the very few people who used to have their cameras on for zoom meetings, I've noticed even they have turned them off now. Attempts at work related conversations inevitably tail off with someone saying - what's the point now anyway? There’ve been some people who have been here mainly because of inertia - not wanting to go through the trouble of finding another job. Even they have now urgently started job hunting. We all know not much time is left. As for the executive team and other political actors in senior management, I expect they will ride this gravy train to the end. It is not that they have the skills to find something else on their own anyway. The management continues to be indifferent and tone deaf to the awful working conditions, the ever increasing amount of load being placed on the people left to get stuff done "on time". They are not capable enough to understand the technical difficulties nor do they care how overworked and overwhelmed the people are who do the actual work. Yet their demands are relentless, the lectures never ending. The CEO has filled the executive team with his pals. The CRO is doing the same in Sales. None of these jobs are advertised. We just get emails that so and so has been appointed to this title and how wonderful their past achievements are. So much for "transparency"

Pros

Exciting Vision & Renewed Focus: The company has undergone significant changes, but the new leadership is steering us in the right direction. The focus on IAST and ADR as key solutions is a game-changer for application security. Transparency & Culture Shift: Management has made a real effort to be more transparent and bring back the startup energy that made this company great in the first place. Passionate & Talented Team: Despite the challenges, the passion among employees is returning. The people who remain are dedicated, talented, and genuinely want to see the company succeed. Opportunities for Impact: With a more focused product direction, employees have a real chance to shape the future of appsec and work on cutting-edge security solutions.

Kontras

Layoff Aftermath: The layoffs were tough on morale, and the company is still recovering. Some employees are struggling with the rapid changes. Execution Needs to Catch Up to Vision: While the vision is exciting, there’s still work to be done in executing it effectively and ensuring everyone is aligned. Shifting Priorities: With a history of trying multiple products across SAST, IAST, Serverless, and SCA, some employees are feeling uncertain about the long-term roadmap and what success looks like.

Pros

Please browse through some reviews to get a sense. You’ll find the answer is: none.

Kontras

The company has got to the stage where it is all about keeping the lights on, survive the next quarter. But who is the survival for? Layoffs used to be an annual thing. Then it was every six months. And now it’s just rolling, nonstop layoffs. Any given day you can find someone deactivated on Slack. It could be someone who was here for a few months or someone who was here from the beginning, having poured their heart and soul into this place. So what does surviving next quarter mean? It means the CEO and his hand picked buddies brought in by him. Along with some other old toxic and political actors who serve the ego of the CEO. It is all about that these folks can earn their hefty paychecks for some more time.
