Looks good from the outside...

Pros

Great product that fills a need in the market. Lots of competition though

Cons

The CEO is delusional and lost on how to lead and grow the company. Prior to Ironscales, he had no business or leadership experience and it shows. Interview them as much as they are going to interview you. The CFO is super cheap too and wants to negotiate down everything he sees. They will be way more successful once the CEO either checks his ego or is removed in favor of a more capable leader.

Pros

- No product is perfect, but what Ironscales has here is truly a good product. It needs some further work on detection rate, but honestly, it's better than most offerings in the industry. - Some of the people I have had the pleasure of working with have been nothing short of excellent, both on a professional and personal level. - Compensation was competitive, and I enjoyed the work-life balance.

Cons

- Extremely toxic snake-like behaviour from mid-management and C level. They will lie to your face, promise the world and deliver nothing. If you get on their wrong side, it's a matter of time before they scapegoat you out of the business. The culture they will try to sell you during interviews, masks a lot of the drama that occurs in the background. - Lack of real direction. They have a good product, but instead of focusing on what makes it different and improving that aspect, the company constantly chases new features that the industry isn't really after. - There is still this idea going around of IS being a "start-up"... It was founded in 2014 and has not made it very far in the last 11 years, it's NOT a start-up by any stretch. If you need a reference for comparison, look at their main competitor that also utilises AI tech for email security. - Ironscales loves to burn bridges, it's almost in their DNA. Don't make the mistake that I did of ignoring the other negative reviews on here, they are true.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — even when it’s tough to read. While it’s never easy to hear that a former team member left with such frustration, we deeply value honest feedback and take it seriously. We're glad to hear that you found our product strong and your peers excellent — that aligns with what we strive to deliver every day. At the same time, your comments around trust, leadership, and culture point to areas we know require ongoing reflection and growth. As a scaling global company, we’re not perfect — but we are committed to getting better. That means investing in leadership development, reinforcing accountability at all levels, and continuing to build a culture where feedback (even hard feedback) leads to positive change, not fear. We’re also mindful of how we show up on platforms like Glassdoor. We ask employees to share reviews only if they feel comfortable — never as damage control. If any Scaler ever feels otherwise, we want to know. We wish you the best in your next chapter and thank you again for helping us do better. — The IRONSCALES Team
