Pros

It’s no secret that Safe Security is the hottest cyber risk and management startup, fuelled by hypergrowth in a fast-growing industry. What the media doesn’t mention, however, is the magic behind the scenes: - A groundbreaking and innovative solution with killer features being released faster than you can keep up with them, delivering phenomenal business value. - A team of seasoned and passionate professionals at the top of their respective fields who genuinely care about the mission and values. - A fantastic and diverse customer base who are vocal champions and advocates for Safe Security. - An inspirational and hands-on senior leadership team that doesn’t shy away from getting involved when called upon, no matter how big or small the challenge/opportunity. - People, people, people, it is not lost on me that I get the opportunity to collaborate across multiple BUs and numerous teams with people from diverse backgrounds. Everyone is always willing to lend support and listen/share ideas. - A genuinely inspirational company to accelerate personal career path with an unparalleled inclusive culture. - Investing in personal career development is genuinely motivating and encouraging to ensure we refine our skills. - You have a huge drive to be the best. You feel valued, that you are contributing to the business, and ultimately, that you are supporting the GTM strategy. I’ve never worked at an organisation where technological innovation tackles true business drivers that phenomenally resonate with the market and, more importantly, clients.

Cons

Truthfully, I’m struggling to settle on one. As the company continues to scale, there will be many changes, but I believe all positive changes are necessary to drive the organisation to the next level. Change is constant, but I don’t see this as a negative. If you embrace change, you will succeed. Like most startups, continuous adjustment is inevitable and should be embraced.

Pros

Genuinely category-defining work in cyber risk - from CRQ, TPRM to CTEM — not marketing fluff, real outcomes for CISOs. Fast-paced, intellectually stimulating environment where good ideas win regardless of who they come from. Leadership is accessible, decisive, and transparent about where the company is headed and why.

Cons

Moving fast means priorities can shift; comfort with ambiguity is a real requirement, not a cliché. The bar is high and the pace is relentless; not the right fit for someone looking to coast.

Pros

Some individual engineers/other employees were genuinely helpful and kind.

Cons

The company somehow has both heavy processes and constant urgency, which produces chaos instead of structure. Leadership frequently calls the organization a “family” and claims to be transparent, but communication is selective and decisions happen behind closed doors. Engineering culture is defined by constant overwork and subtle pressure to offload tasks onto others just to stay afloat. You spend as much time defending your workload and deadlines as you do actually building anything. The CEO’s mindset feels stuck in 2015—there are frequent “Ferrari” metaphors, “work harder” rhetoric, and at one point, even a story shared in a surprisingly celebratory tone about a former employee who worked himself into a heart attack. This fits a broader pattern: a strong emphasis on minimizing short-term costs rather than making decisions with long-term stability or scalability in mind, which raises questions about the company’s longer-term direction. A significant number of US engineers had already been quitting because the workload and expectations were identical across regions while the compensation didn’t come close to matching US cost of living; unlike in India, labor protections and broader opportunities made leaving a more realistic option. The US engineering layoffs were ultimately explained as a reaction to several managers quitting, yet they came directly on the heels of this wave of voluntary departures. This also matters when reading reviews, since employee experiences and incentives can differ significantly by region.
