Pros
Great benefits - PTO, holidays, fully paid insurance Competitive salary Lots of great people working here
Cons
Leadership continually shifts priorities, which requires working fast and furious and means taking shortcuts and creating lots of tech debt. Lack of communication from leadership and upper management.

We are also striving to provide regular company town halls and enhanced internal communications. I'd love to hear more about your specific ideas on how upper management can communicate more effectively. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space
Cons
* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction
* Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps
* Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability
* Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors
* Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods
* In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role
* Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
