Pros

Good benefits, interesting technology, a few good people

Cons

Ethics are basically non-existent, many people are fired over a 5 minute zoom with zero warning or history or poor performance. Constant turnover at the executive level. Transformation in 2023 was a complete disaster, VERY few sales reps made their number and direction from leadership was constantly changing. Commission payouts were super sketchy with territories always changing. The product teams announce releases that are not fully baked. Many deals lost in late stages due to previously unknown technical gaps in the product. Compensation is on the lower end. Dozens of reps are hired and then fired within months which is in indication of poor hiring practices. Decisions are made based on the bottom line and zero consideration for the employees and their families is afforded.

Dear former DigiCert employee, Thank you for taking the time and providing a review on Glassdoor. While we appreciate the recognition of the benefits, technology, and people at DigiCert, we recognize your list of negatives was extensive. In 2023 DigiCert went through a transformation year, and change is often hard and uncomfortable. But DigiCert, its leaders and employees are quickly finding our footing in this new structure. Major changes include making choices about people, which is always difficult, but we do our best to be thoughtful and not make emotional decisions. And we will always be honest with people on why decisions are made. We hope that, overall, your experience at DigiCert was positive, and we invite you to share any additional feedback you may have with a member of the DigiCert People Team. We would be more than happy to speak with you. Regards, DigiCert People Team

Pros

DigiCert has an amazing culture with a ton of great people who are always willing to collaborate and band together to achieve a common goal. I feel I have the tools, support, autonomy, and resources to succeed in my role and make a positive business impact.

Cons

There is definitely areas of opportunity when it comes to building for scale and breaking down operational silos as DigiCert continues to grow as an organization.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. Forward thinking. Small enough you don't get lost in the crowd, but big enough to make a large impact.

Cons

On boarding process was a bit painful. No RSUs or stock options which means no ESPP either
