Pros

One of the most fulfilling aspects of working here is the impactful work we do. Almost every project feels like it has a purpose. Employees are encouraged to think beyond just their roles and contribute to something bigger, and generally people feel very bought in to the product. Cross-functional teamwork is encouraged, making everyone feel like they are part of a collective mission rather than working in silos. Leadership is open to new ideas and perspectives, ensuring that we stay ahead of the curve, and ideas are welcomed from all levels of the organization. The company values work-life balance. Leadership genuinely values well-being, offering remote and hybrid work options and a culture that prioritizes results over hours spent at a desk.

Cons

As the company has grown, decision making has become more complex. With more stakeholders involved, it can sometimes be challenging to move quickly and efficiently. The emphasis on collaboration (while a great strength!) can occasionally slow things down and create bottlenecks when fast execution is needed.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
