Pros

Good people in certain teams and fun meet ups. Impressive product with intelligent team behind it that work very hard. Fair GTM strategy, a growing business and fairly recent investment.

Cons

An old school mindset, toxic 'family run business' mentality. Very little flexibility and work life balance, you are expected to be 'on' all the time including evening and sometimes weekends, holidays. Lack of strong leadership in key positions including heads & SLT level which impacts cross-operational strategies and effects teams on all levels. Significant lack of progression and recognition for hard work, only public scrutiny when people make mistakes, blaming and finger pointing, often through lack of training, resources and correct management. Redundancies come in flows which has left people feeling scared with little to no reassurance from managers especially in customer facing roles. Strong personalities that borderline bullying where people look the other way due to favouritism. Poor processes to set people up for success especially in sales/ customer facing roles although i have heard this is company wide.

Pros

Remote company with meetups every few years

Cons

Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re genuinely desperate. There are some great people at Gatekeeper but it’s a mess. Leadership’s priorities constantly shift, there’s constant turnover of senior leaders that each restructure everything from top to bottom as soon as they join the org, and they never commit to a clear focus for more than a few weeks at a time. Burnou's a massive problem here. Sadly, there’s a strong lack of trust from the top. Senior leadership trusts only a small inner circle, and if you’re not in it, you’re basically going to be justifying your existence on a daily basis. Your calendar and activity WILL be monitored because managers don’t trust that people are doing their jobs, even though everyone’s snowed under. Employees are pushed to be “obsessed with AI” but the reality is that AI adoption at this company has drastically increased everyone’s workload, and people are exhausted. If you're considering a job here, just note that they're reducing staff numbers and simultaneously increasing their revenue goals. Again, there are very good people here, but the culture makes it hard to thrive. I wouldn’t recommend working here without significant change
