Uneven Company & Talent in Crowded Space - Senior Software Developer CyCognito Employee Review

1. Staff in United States are more dedicated to appeasement and keeping their jobs than making a good product or work environment. 2. CEO is disconnected from reality, both from a product standpoint (doesn't tell customers or investors the truth about what the product can do) and feedback standpoint (won't listen to any staff regardless of role or customer-provided, "he's on the same call with them" feedback). 3. While the U.S. staff have industry-standard compensation packages, Tel Aviv staff are hugely underpaid. 4. Product doesn't scale and the company can't support more than a handful of proof-of-value or customer data refreshes at a time. 5. The Attack Surface Management space is really crowded and has been for years, with RiskIQ being dominant, Censys and Shodan being free, Qualys being more comprehensive, and newer entrants happening all the time. 6. Hire-from-Outside leadership approach. That plus flagging sales led to an almost full sales reboot after its first year selling. 7. Diversity is so bad it was written about in TechCrunch and the CEO tried to fix it by putting random low-level employees' pictures on the "About Us" page.
