Pros

At Edgescan, I worked with some of the best people I have ever had the opportunity to work with. The environment is supportive, positive and collaborative. Transparency is ingrained in the culture. From an engineering perspective, everyone strives to do better and to find better ways to do things. Therefore, learning never stops, and people are supported and encouraged to succeed and grow. Ownership and taking responsibility are an important part of the culture. The culture is honest and constructive. Software developers participate actively in decisions about the roadmap, the items people want to work on, the processes, etc. Opinions are always heard and strongly encouraged, as there is a constant attempt to do and be better. Edgescan believes in its people and trusts them, as they are the most critical factor of success. I can see a lot of potential in Edgescan due to the culture of owning mistakes and using them to learn, as in such a fast-moving environment, they are inevitable. They give you all the rope and will never let you hang yourself. I was with Egescan for over two years. I feel truly privileged to work with such smart, dedicated and friendly people every day. There are plenty of opportunities at the company if you're willing to work hard and are passionate about what you do. The company is growing quickly so it is never boring. The product is well regarded by customers.

Cons

Location - I bought a house on the opposite side of the city so the commute became too difficult.

Pros

I've never worked at a company that prioritized the customer experience more. The product is loved by customers and the work culture is great. Tons of room for growth.

Cons

Communication is great but it would be nice to get the global team together more.

Pros

Generally flexible with time off, although this has become more limited over time Ability to work remotely Paid leave Many employees and some managers are genuinely supportive and well-intentioned The development team appears to have a positive dynamic and is generally easygoing to work with

Cons

Challenging office culture, including gossip, favoritism, and competition rather than collaboration Company culture is more corporate and rigid than initially presented Compensation concerns, particularly for Irish employees, with noticeable disparities compared to international counterparts who receive higher pay and additional benefits Limited benefits package Penetration testing management demonstrates micromanagement, inconsistent communication, and leadership approaches that can feel unsupportive or, at times, overly critical or aggressive Limited support structures, with a tendency toward blame and a top-down, high-pressure management style that can feel punitive and demoralizing Work will be assigned late in the day with expectations for immediate turnaround, along with pressure to engage outside standard working hours (e.g., weekends) Employee boundaries are not consistently respected, contributing to burnout and reduced morale Ongoing communication challenges across the organization, including unclear direction and limited transparency Disorganized and, at times, chaotic work environment with frequently shifting expectations Fixed organizational and management mindset
