Pros

company offers fully remote work

Cons

There's a pervasive sentiment within the company that employees are easily expendable. Management often provides a facade of stability, misleading employees into believing that all is well. Promises regarding layoffs have been broken multiple times. The company seems to be increasingly shifting its focus offshore, which raises concerns about long-term opportunities and job security for current employees. Office politics are becoming more evident, detracting from the positive culture we once had. The CEO's stance is inconsistent and his justification for layoffs, by merely citing bigger companies' actions, comes across as unconvincing and lacks foresight.

Pros

SecurityScorecard has smart, hardworking people, and there are real opportunities to take on meaningful work quickly. If you are someone who can operate independently, solve ambiguous problems, and move fast, you can have a lot of impact here. There are also pockets of strong cross-functional collaboration, especially among employees who are genuinely trying to keep the business moving despite constant change.

Cons

The biggest issue is leadership instability and inconsistent operating discipline. Priorities change quickly, ownership is often unclear, and too much critical work depends on a small number of people rather than durable processes or properly staffed teams. There is a pattern of asking employees to absorb more scope without the resources, authority, or support required to execute sustainably. Decision-making can feel reactive instead of strategic. Different teams may push overlapping initiatives without clear alignment, which creates confusion, duplicated work, and unnecessary political friction. There is also a tendency to reward urgency over planning, which leads to burnout and makes it difficult to build systems that last. Communication from leadership often feels disconnected from the reality of day-to-day execution. The company talks about transformation and innovation, but the internal operating model does not always support that ambition.
