Pros

Freedom to innovate good solutions, working with solid web technology, led by a knowledgable founder who really values privacy and security. User experience is taken seriously, especially relative to most small companies in the area.

Cons

Management can be difficult to deal with, there was a lot of pressure to work late hours, both explicitly stated and implied. The product sometimes lacks direction, and funds are tight.

The market opportunity around privacy and personal data protection is massive, and the company is well-positioned to lead it.

Leadership is focused on scaling thoughtfully, while still giving people room to take ownership and grow. It’s the right balance of structure and flexibility, which makes it a great environment for those who thrive in growth-stage companies. Pros: Clear mission and purpose in a high-growth market Smart, driven, and collaborative teammates Real opportunities for ownership and career growth Strong alignment between leadership and team

Like any growing company, there are changes and challenges as we scale — but they come with the opportunity to shape how we grow.

Pros

Remote and the product works

Cons

Completely unreasonable and unattainable sales numbers. When they don’t hit their company sales target in a quarter they just start chopping heads to compensate for their horrible forecasts to the board. The only chance you have at even sniffing 100% attainment is to be the luckiest person in the world and have a couple huge deals fall in to your lap. Otherwise they’ll just fire you and try again with someone else.
