Pros

good technology, nice people, but

Cons

horrible culture, all driven by CEO that micro manager every single detail, no work life balance they except people to be available 24/7 including weekends, I was asked to take a VIP customer to dinner and they refused to cover the cost, since it was after "the end of her visit". Super long hiring process, I felt I was already working for the company, paying less than market. They split the salary to base and bonus, but at the review I was told that only god gets 100%, so max is 90%. People are hired and fired so fast, you can't get the job done. Lack of basic processes, I had to chase to get my bonus as there isn't a process in place... All CMO that were hired and need to work with CEO couldn't last more than two months.

Pros

In my 8 months of interning at OPSWAT, the work culture stood out like no other. From the first day I was greeted and welcomed by several people around the office. I always looked forward to team/office lunches and playing ping pong with my peers. I was also able to take on important projects and regularly meet with customers and prospects. Lastly, everyone wants you to succeed, and as an intern everyone is willing to help you grow. I have learned so much throughout my two sessions as a Product Manager Intern. I would recommend this position and OPSWAT to anyone as it is a great place to work.

Cons

I have no cons at all.

Pros

• Dedicated employees who are committed to the company’s success. • Opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work and make a visible impact. • Exposure to a growing cybersecurity company with a global presence. • Employees are trusted with significant responsibility and autonomy.

Cons

• Environment is heavily influenced by the CEO’s leadership style, which may not be a fit for everyone. It can be really intense. • Employees may be reluctant to raise concerns or challenge leaders out of fear. • PTO and holiday benefits are less competitive than those offered by many similarly sized companies. The limited amount of time off can make it challenging for employees to recharge and maintain long-term work-life balance.
