Pros

Good International exposure and good tech stack.

Cons

Definitely a no, the company is a mid level startup. The culture in India is damn pathetic, no job security and too much office politics. US folks have no idea how things are in India office. I feel they don't even care as they have hired the most unskilled managers here, and as we are cheap labour they don't really care about us. All 5 star reviews were forced to us by the India manager so he can show off this to the US folks, damn pathetic right! I have seen great performing folks asked to leave in a day for no reason, They are very cost driven and for cost cutting if they find someone cheap they will replace you immediately without even notice period. Overall don't go on the fancy look and reviews. Reviews are bought.

Pros

The company boasts a significant enterprise customer base and maintains a competitive advantage through its dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) team. A truly "vibrant" culture. If you're seeking a workplace that truly tests your resilience, creativity in avoiding eye contact, and ability to thrive on passive-aggressive feedback, look no further! A unique corporate environment, particularly one that values a very specific and distinctive hiring pipeline. Arkose genius lies in their laser-focused strategy: apparently, the only prerequisite for joining the Arkose family is a former stint at ThreatMetrix. Diversity? Pffft. Who needs a breadth of experience when you can have a singular, deeply entrenched perspective on... well, whatever they were doing at ThreatMetrix that apparently wasn't quite stellar enough to keep them there. It's like watching a reunion special where everyone's trying to pretend their old band was actually good.

Cons

To support their admittedly green CEO, they've brought in an equally "talented" COO – someone whose incompetence is only outshone by their undeniable toxic charm. The company is currently experiencing organizational challenges characterized by a misaligned executive leadership team and a toxic work environment. Recent changes in the executive team have created a division between those who support the CEO and those who support the COO. This has resulted in a highly competitive and hostile work environment, The current COO has demonstrated a lack of engagement with customers and a history of missed quarterly revenue targets. This has led to concerns about the company's ability to maintain its market position and achieve its financial goals.
