Pros

Pros: Good health insurance. It wants me to put in a 5 word minimum, and I really just can't.

Cons

- a person laying off was smiling during the Zoom like it was a day at Disney. - would have meetings I didn’t need to be in from 7 pm-8 pm. - 50+ people (not in marketing) in one document someone from marketing was working on. - CEO would bad-talk people on Slack who left the company “in good standing.” - C-suite would push out Reddit ads that looked like some MSPaint job that got a bunch of comments about the ad being a scam and stuff like “Is this even real??” - burnt through 2 CMOs. - CEO would get on Slack and talk about how he liked an ad because of the “Raspberry Pi” color scheme, and I couldn’t tell if he was trolling. - there were weird vibes at the big in-person meet. - always passive-aggressive remarks. - got a cramp so bad from so many meetings that I thought it was a blood clot. Health insurance covered my Friday night ER visit, so I guess that was nice. - too many people not in marketing not making marketing decisions. will make things tougher on sales.

Lost Its Way

Pros

At one time, the best thing about working at Huntress was the people. The company attracted talented, passionate individuals who genuinely cared about helping small businesses stay secure. The culture was built on collaboration, and there was a strong sense of camaraderie among employees who believed in the mission. Another major benefit is the fully remote work environment, which offers flexibility and a great work-life balance. This has been one of the company’s strongest selling points and remains a key advantage.

Cons

Huntress was once a company with immense promise, but poor leadership decisions have steadily eroded what made it great. A string of misguided executive hires has resulted in a company that is disorganized, ineffective, and directionless. Leadership lacks a clear strategy, and decision-making feels reactive rather than intentional. The company’s core values were changed last year, which only formalized what employees had already observed—transparency and integrity had long since disappeared. Internal culture has shifted to one where those who challenge leadership or offer constructive criticism are quietly sidelined, while those who validate egos are rewarded. Silos, infighting, and a lack of internal mobility have made career growth difficult, if not impossible. Recruiting and retention have become a challenge, with leadership now encouraging employees to post positive Glassdoor reviews in an attempt to counteract growing reputational concerns. Employee sentiment surveys consistently highlight that satisfaction drops sharply after the first year—once the reality of the dysfunction sets in. Huntress had the potential to be something great, but without strong leadership and a genuine commitment to fixing its internal issues, it’s hard to see how it recovers.

Traumatic Experience

Pros

Aside from the bad apples, there were many great people working here and overall a friendly atmosphere. Or so it seemed..

Cons

Left this place needing therapy from the trauma I experienced. I am not sure how leadership/certain individuals can sleep at night knowing they employ & celebrate people who belittle and bully others. I have witnessed so much lack of respect and complete disregard for mental illness and disabilities that I am in shock this is still occurring in today's world. I was blinded by a false promise of kindness and comradery by wolves in sheep's clothing. This may not be across all departments - but I was aware of this behavior occurring in multiple departments. TREAD VERY CAREFULLY.

I am so sorry you experienced this. The behavior you described runs 180 degrees from the culture of Belonging we are trying to foster. I wish we could have had a discussion about this before you left. Feel free to reach out to me directly as I'd still like to hear more. As you experienced here, we are regularly surveying our teammates and have embedded People Business Partners into the business as eyes and ears, and resources, to help us identify behavior gaps and opportunities to continually improve our culture.
