Great culture, management, and additional opportunities
Apr 14, 2023 - Technical Support SpecialistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great communication with management and employees, great opportunities for growth and involvement in the company, they really take care of their own even if you're a co-op student, part-time, or full-time. Everyone is treated equally with respect and support no matter the seniority.
Cons
There could be improvements made in communications between departments (e.g. between Sales, Dev, and Support) but these processes are currently being revised.

A people first company that passes the feeling on to the customer
Apr 11, 2022 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I joined over a year ago and can truly say that Safe Software is a great place to work. Managers and colleagues genuinely care about you. Getting to work with passionate, smart, and inventive colleagues who are always working on improving outputs and process brings meaning to every day. The founders are quirky and always have their ear to the ground about what's going on in the industry, and challenge us to bring our best to the table without burning us out. The proof is in the pudding, and happy employees make for happy customers. Safe has a lot of happy customers.
Cons
The company is scaling and along with that comes creating more structure for efficient systems. They haven't been the biggest on vertical hierarchy, which I find is a good thing, but the approach has its limits once an organization reaches a certain size. Part of the challenge at the moment is creating enough systems and delineating responsibilities clearly without losing the high autonomy culture. Pay is good but medium and could be more competitive in the current market. The in-person/remote work policies could be clearer but are in good faith and feedback to improve them are generally well-acted upon.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your time working at Safe Software. We're glad that you had a chance to enjoy some of the in-office perks at Safe before the team pivoted at the onset of the global pandemic to a remote-first work environment. We do anticipate that we'll be able to resume community lunches and our on-site gym facilities in a reimagined way once we've fully re-opened our office, however, staff will be able to choose whether they'd like to work remotely, on-premise, or hybrid.
