Pros

There are some great individuals and teams at the organization. The software is widely popular and is seeing growing demand. You'll learn a lot about different aspects of the business regardless of your department.

Cons

The culture at its core has grown toxic. Instead of addressing concerns they simply wait for the employee to leave and/or terminate them. They keep on employees that do not benefits their teams or the company as a whole. Leadership can be tone deaf. For the longest time the company was insistent on pushing "tribes" in marketing and sales material, even in the current political climate and with internal backlash. We originally got June 19th off because "other companies were doing it". Much of the original team has left over the last year. It seems that many of new hires are simply people that know someone of the board or are associated with employees - this is limiting the transparency of the company.

Dear Anonymous Employee, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Being a current employee at SheerID, I encourage you to meet with me to discuss your concerns. Please know that you can speak with me anytime, so we can help make your experience here as productive and successful as possible. I agree that they are many great individuals and teams at SheerID - the people are what makes SheerID a great place to work, so it was disappointing that you felt the culture was not up to your expectations. We work diligently to build a strong culture - and even more so during the pandemic, as everyone has had a challenging past year and a half. We are a fast-growing business, so change is constant. We are proud to be agile when it comes to decision-making, communication, and hiring, and we continue to meet our goals. We will make mistakes along the way, and my goal is to correct those quickly and be transparent in the process. Please seek me out, as I would love to discuss these and any other concerns you may have. Thank you again for your feedback. Jake

Pros

Great people, excellent culture, and strong benefits. The tech team is lean but collaborative, dedicated, and extremely high performing. The leadership team is data-driven and consistently makes well-reasoned choices.

Cons

I sometimes wish the leadership team had more dedicated time together to align and stay at a higher, more strategic level.
