Pros

-When I started, I would have given LogRhythm a resounding 5 stars. I loved everything about the place. Every day was a new opportunity to learn and engage in an exciting environment and product. I believe the overall rating on Glassdoor has dropped a whole point since then, which is very sad to watch, but historically, it is a great company. The founders are still involved and they are great. -The people that work here are pleasant. -We currently get half days on Fridays, but it hardly makes up for recent negative changes. -Flex time off is nice, but not heavily utilized.

Cons

I have written and deleted more Glassdoor reviews than I can count in recent months, but it's time to finally hit "submit". For the record, much of this has been brought up by myself and others many times before posting, but nothing changes. Here goes. Recent MAJOR pay and benefits issues. We will see if they get resolved, but hopes are not high. Attrition has been awful and completely unaddressed for over a year. Lies about backfilling positions are common with no delivery. This has led to further attrition as work gets thrown on the plates of remaining employees who are already overwhelmed. This hurts work-life balance and the product as a whole, which is slipping in areas where it used to be very competitive. There are no lateral options for employees suddenly placed in poorly fitting roles to move to areas where their skills and professional interests would be better utilized, which means there are people unhappy on their teams and unhappy with their career paths. No faith that the execs or Thoma Bravo care about this company at all. They've been told over and over and over what is needed to succeed and ignored nearly every suggestion. Middle management gets swatted like flies when they try to improve things. Sales has unreasonable expectations. The culture has slowly been dismantled. I had shreds of optimism for a long time that things would end up getting better here, but... I don't see it anymore. They don't care. They haven't for awhile. This was an incredible place to work at one point, but the ship is sinking. I could have never imagined I would feel this low about a company I once loved so much. To put it into terms that get the point across. LogRhythm used to be Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Thoma Bravo turned it into Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They proverbially ruined the Indiana Jones we loved in a passionless money grab. I will save whoever normally responds to these reviews a little bit of time if you want to copy and paste the typical response to this feedback. "Sorry you feel that way, but [write excuses here]. We don't acknowledge anything that needs to be improved and will change nothing. Even though this is one of many reviews like this and we hear these things in exit interviews constantly, this is a you problem, not us."

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and I agree that our people are our greatest strength. Certainly, the last 3+ months of a global pandemic and operating largely in a virtual environment has been a big transition, so listening to our employees and being present is even more important now than ever. With that, I’d like to address some of your specific concerns and highlight the many actions we have taken. Employee Feedback I understand you may feel that employee feedback is not addressed, but team members may recall that it was an employee suggestion during an All-Company meeting that we should implement summer half-day Fridays as a ‘thank you’ to the company for sacrifices being made. We acted on the suggestion and it appears to be well received. To address employee questions and concerns after COVID-19 and now with states reopening, we created a work-evolution committee to survey and ensure that we placed our team’s health and safety first. These are some examples to convey that all employee feedback is heard and that it’s acted on when possible. As a current employee, you are aware that I take the time to ensure every employee question and comment is addressed during our company meetings. Attrition and Lateral Moves Any time that we lose a member of the team it hurts. We track this metric closely as an executive team and have active discussions on how we can improve and retain our talent. This includes encouraging our managers to have discussions around career growth, to continuous learning initiatives. Your comment about lateral moves is simply incorrect. We have many examples of supporting employees who want to explore different positions in the company to further their career growth and development. Many of these promotions and transfers happened in the past month. Existing employees are welcome to apply for any of our open positions (https://logrhythm.com/about/careers/). All qualified candidates will be considered. I emphasize that we don’t want to lose a single member of the team and encourage you to apply for internal lateral positions and per our employee handbook. Lastly, Thoma Bravo’s interest in our success is overwhelming and their deep knowledge, experience, and network in cybersecurity benefits us greatly. Running a healthy and stable company is our collective responsibility to ensure the livelihood and wellbeing of each and every LogRhythm employee.

Pros

Lower level employees are truly wonderful and are the bread and butter to what keeps this place afloat Unlimited PTO

Cons

TLDR: place is a dumpster fire, highly would not recommend working here at their current name or the name they are merging under Pay is awful Toxic work culture characterized by favoritism, micromanagement, and lack of transparency. Ineffective leadership from the senior "leaders" Atmosphere of fear and distrust instead of collaboration and open communication. Marketing has dictatorial leadership stifling innovation and creativity. High level executive often engages in online bullying of other companies. Total disregard for feedback provided during exit interviews. It's like they exist as a checkmark and not to make any change. Lack of accountability from upper management. Disconnect between upper management and the rest of the organization.
