      Toxic leadership team has no respect for employees - Anonymous employee Offensive Security Employee Review

      Pros

      Fully remote environment and unlimited PTO (on paper)

      Cons

      The current CEO insists on making every minor decision, effectively "handcuffing" skilled professionals. This micromanagement has led to a complete lack of strategic agility. The company has fallen into a predictable, toxic cycle of annual layoffs disguised as "restructures." This happens multiple times a year, every year. It’s either a sign of catastrophic failure in planning or a deceptive way to churn staff while maintaining a "business as usual" facade. There has been a massive turnover in the Executive Leadership Team. Most of the original visionaries and competent directors have either quit or been pushed out, replaced by "yes-men" or left vacant. There is a toxic culture of fear. Transparency is non-existent. Information is siloed, and there is a pervasive "every person for themselves" mentality fueled by sudden departures and the disparagement of former employees.

      Pros

      You get a paycheck and get to work on a macbook

      Cons

      The CEO has turned what was once a great company into a chaotic, toxic environment. She micromanages nearly everything except Engineering—the one area that desperately needs oversight—and shows favoritism toward a select few she trusts or can manipulate. Decisions are made impulsively, with no data or strategy, creating constant instability. Cost-cutting has become an obsession: hiring cheap labor, refusing to invest in necessary tools, and expecting employees to do more with less. Technical debt is ignored and continues to accumulate, long-term planning is nonexistent, and morale has plummeted. Teams are overworked, under-supported, and some are simply disengaged. The culture that once made this company a strong, collaborative place has been replaced by fear, frustration, and unpredictability.
