Pros

Live fire exercises are good, however they are overpriced.

Cons

There has been significant turnover in the company, with only one account manager and one BDR remaining from the 2023 team. Onboarding is minimal, limited to watching outdated Teams recordings, and when you start, you’ll only receive a laptop (mine was used). The benefits package is lacking, and you'll need to contribute a significant amount for healthcare coverage. Additionally, the company is now controlled by the venture capital firm that owns it, leading to strict limitations on per diem, event sponsorship, and travel. If you are in sales then consider your tenure a quarter by quarter proposition.

Thank you for your honest feedback! We appreciate the openness. Cyberbit has gone through a period of transition and while change can be difficult at times, it has also brought new direction, vision, and process. We have revamped our benefit packages, invested in training, and updated internal policies. We thank you again for the honesty and directness.

Pros

Decent product potential, but severely mismanaged.

Cons

Leadership Issues: The company was recently taken over by Charlesbank, a VC fund, and it shows. The new CEO is directly from the VC, and it's clear their primary focus is on financials rather than the well-being of the employees or the long-term health of the company. Mass Layoffs: In 2024, Cyberbit has so far fired all but one account executive and one BDR from the US team. The channel team has been disbanded. They have been rehiring but it has drastically affected morale and performance. They are ruthless. Toxic Sales Environment: The Sales Director fosters a toxic environment that has led to high turnover. Churn is a significant problem, and it's evident that management doesn't care to address it. No in person team meetings, drastically cut travel, below industry standard per diem. Poor Onboarding: Onboarding is a joke. All new hires are expected to watch pre-recorded videos, with no real interaction or support. There is no sense of culture or team cohesion. Lack of Culture: With the new leadership, including the CEO, Sales VP, CFO, Head of Revenue, and Head of Product Management, there's no effort to build a positive company culture. They want the company to be acquired for their shares to vest. The focus is purely on numbers, leaving employees feeling undervalued and disconnected.
