Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Smart group of people today
they listen and are thoughtful about decisions
Easy to connect with and open to feedback.
Our executives are down to earth and truly care not only about the company but about all the employees that work within it.
Work life balance can take a hit some times , seeing pandemic effect
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication, honesty, transparency, morals and less focus on shiny objects (e.g. pushing AI), and more focus on what's best for our business. They need to get back to the actual purpose of our software and stop trying to be something we're not.
Communication is a massive issue. Their excuse is im always too busy.
Leadership only seems to listen to those who mirror their opinions. Employees are considered to be replaceable and don't matter.
Everything. Has to work at HR and treating people fairly across the board
Revolving door leadership 4+ years. C- rating on this company culture, clearly the leadership does not want to get better.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Great compensation plan for mgt
Base salary is above market compensation. Regular bonuses, although not large, help with morale.
Benefits are on par with most Silicon Valley software companies. Plenty of vacation advertised, but in reality there is no way to take more than 3 weeks away without impacting job performance. Because remaining support staff is overworked and burned out.
Competitive freat behefits good PTO policy
The salary was reasonable based on my experience.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
No raises and longest PreIPO period ever.
bonus and raises and stock refresh
My friends in similar roles are paid fairly higher in the same role in competitor organizations
Be competitive with salary and promote within
Review from Marketing Dept
At my level I should be given more support and have more opportunities to influence outcomes. The culture is sink or swim without a smooth entry point. Cliques of power exist.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Very talented and work hard
Smart people who are eager to make a difference
Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone is just trying to do their best
there is no fire anymore. people are just waiting to get a package.
Focus on the business. Hard working.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Everyone needs to communicate more effectively. Projects oftentimes derail because there is a missing piece in the communication of the project, and individuals or teams aren't on the same page.
The Engineering staff rules the world. It is not diverse and one person can impact your customer, your job and the perception of you by other co-workers. You can be ignored for weeks and then expected to answer a phone call from another timezone after midnight in your timezone.
need to show more care
Coworkers are great. But the culture of fear created by a dictator leadership has everyone completely stressed and jumpy.
Stop be patronizing to the junior engineers. They are learning too. You guys took years to learn the same thing as well.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Great vision and understanding of cyber security
Quartely meet ups for team morale
Getting away from corporate and being in the field with the teams.
The vision, the ability to change.
working with sales / sales engineers very positive. Corporate people very negative - VPs and up regularly missed meetings they accepted, regularly would not respond to e mails or meeting invites - Ironically the company states its top value is respect - laughable.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
c-level needs to stop worrying about covering their --- so much. all yes men. no one will disagree with mohit or sanjay because they will certainly get fired if they do
upper management needs to take off. especially Founder and CEO
Get a new CEO, attitude is a reflection of leadership. People are stressed out and scared at this place all the time.
Pretty much a lot of things like WLB,. Compensation, promotions
CEO and leader needs to go. Attitude is a reflection of leadership. CEO is impulsive, temperamental, So all that nervous fearful energy just flows right on down the entire company.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Lots of people involved to meet
Rfficient and well planned out
Review from Engineering Dept
positive feedback, good customer questions.
Conversational and welcoming. But all those great leaders got pushed out by the great leader.
Meeting with the CHRO, passionate about partnering with the business to move the needle forward.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The company didnt respond for 3 weeks and a half when they said they would get back to me within 14 days. I has to reach out just to get things moving.
The HR and mangers in recruiting area ll inexperienced
Have a more formalized process that is organized and more timely. Have executives be "present" in the interviews.
They need to be on time
What makes you most happy at work?
Building a great company and having fun
The compensation and benefits. We have a very generous parental leave policy, which is much better than any other company I have interviewed with or worked at.
Sering results and working with the team
Review from Engineering Dept
Being able to leverage my creativity.
working with customers with the sales and engineering teams
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company lets go of new hires far too quickly when its leaderships fault. Irs like having a disease and you toss the body, but realize the new body will havw it once again after its exposed to the company culture. It will never work as it should.
Product functionality is vaguely described and barely works for a majority of the customers base.
replace CEO - people are being driven by fear not passion and being a part of something.
