Pros

The tool itself is reasonably built and the end-user experience is built well. Organizationally, the only other pro is that they are entirely remote and offer competitive salaries. However, you are expected to always be online and available.

Cons

Over the course of the year Twingate lost their first CMO, removed their new head of marketing, and in general was a revolving door for employees. Not to mention when they endangered staff for a company offsite where most everyone got covid, and were stuck there for a week. The company has lofty goals, but is falling so short on sales that the CEO constantly took out their frustrations on the marketing team as leadership fails to understand they are not designed to purely generate leads. Moreover, leadership refused to expand the marketing team, were stingy on budget unless it came down to consumer-level approaches like a 10k+ influencer shoutout, felt marketing should do the prospecting, leadership did not provide direction or strategy, and was in general an atmosphere led by anger and fear. This was the most toxic environment I have ever been involved in. The cofounders are completely in over their heads and the CEO often took to publicly attacking people (verbally) due to their own ignorance and lack of leadership capabilities.

Pros

- Exceptionally strong engineering team, especially in network technologies. After interviewing elsewhere, it became clear how far ahead the core technology really was. - Deep, thoughtful code reviews were strongly encouraged, creating an environment where learning from each other and improving code quality was the norm rather than the exception. - Backend teams were equally skilled and collaborative, which made cross-team work both productive and intellectually rewarding. - The company valued taking the time necessary to build things correctly. This focus on quality was especially important given the security‑critical nature of the product and the trust customers place in it. - Management encouraged independent thinking and ownership, which empowered engineers to make meaningful technical contributions. - Mostly remote work (around 95%) provided flexibility, complemented by occasional week‑long in‑person design sessions and social get‑togethers that noticeably boosted collaboration and morale. From what I understand, in‑person collaboration became even more frequent after I left.

Cons

- Much of the inner workings lived in the codebase and in people’s heads, so ramping up took some time for me. - The predominantly remote environment could be challenging if you thrive on frequent, ongoing feedback.
