      Pros

      This company was great to work for the the beginning! I learned a lot and had a fun time. Work was hard and long but felt like I was making a difference. When the company was all in one building and no India, team collaboration was high. When we moved we lost a lot of that. They spend a lot of money on parties, free food, beer, dog days, kid days. All where great! A big thank you for these :) Building a SIEM is not easy and a lot of companies slow down. LR keeps pushing to try and build out this space. They hire very smart people. They value innovation!

      Cons

      Where do I start here...... 1) Flex Time - What a joke! They tell you can take as much or as little time off as you want but they track it. If you try to go over 3 weeks they do not allow you. Its just a cleaver way of not paying you PTO when you leave. 2) They are going public soon! Yea have been hearing that for many years! I call it virtual handcuffs. You need to stay to get vested. They will keep giving you stock options to keep you around. Then when you do leave and you buy your options, don't expect emails telling you anything. After investing a lot of money it would be nice to get an email every quarter or year. 3) Upward motion in the company. Yea that is another joke! If you are the 1% or top programmer they will treat you like a GOD. If you have management skill they will promote you and not pay you more. If you are everyone else just enjoy your free food and simple raises. You will not get any mentor or help moving between departments or up in the company... WHY you ask? Great question! The upper management find no value in that. They would rather hire a new person then help train a current one. Or more likely they will just give the job to India. No Joke 4) The last lie they will tell you. We are all a team hear. The Engineering, Sales and Support are all fighting on their own. No teams talk to each other, no teams collaborate. Again why do you ask? Good question! I asked that question in a Ask me Anything meeting and they refused to answer the question. My guess... Is upper management not wanting to answer for flaws or bugs in the product. There is a lot of work to be done here and free food is not the answer.

      Pros

      Individual contributors in Engineering - former and the few that remain - are great people and extremely talented and dedicated professionals.

      Cons

      Literally, everything but the individual contributors and the few managers that remain in Engineering. Weapons grade incompetence starts at the top with a VP that left a dumpster fire at her previous company, Vertafore (do yourself a favor and look them up) and brought the same stench, along with her minions, er, Directors, to LogRhythm, systematically destroying our culture, trust, motivation, and morale. Consequently, a mass exodus of our best people has been underway for months. I would estimate we’re down 50% in the past year. How has leadership responded to this massive attrition? Your guess is as good as mine. At least 7 people have left in 2020 already. Oh, wait, today leadership responded by announcing a “strategic realignment” that resulted in 39 layoffs. None in Engineering, however. Of course, that would have wiped out all of Engineering. So, even though the slant of this review is regarding Engineering, there’s no point in working in Product, Sales, Marketing, etc. because Engineering leadership can’t / won’t extract its head from its arse and create an environment where Engineering can deliver anything Product requests. Hence, nothing new to Market or Sell, either. Bottom line is that this company is on the fast track to leadership-induced suicide. A truly sad ending to what had been a great success story.

      I appreciate the perspective you provide in your post and I am sorry to hear that your experience working in engineering has not been as stellar as we would hope. As for the areas that you have noted as challenges, a few observations that may be useful: In the 10 months since I joined LogRhythm, I have met with many of our customers including those in Europe and Australia, and held roundtables with professional services, customer success, sales, sales engineering, and the engineering organization to solicit their feedback. That feedback has been incredibly valuable and led to a number of engineering initiatives in the following areas: people and culture, technical excellence and innovation, operational excellence and focusing on our customers. Maturing our company means moving away from a “startup” mindset and incorporating some industry best practices around operational excellence that help us scale including moving to SAFe, having a laser focus on quality, encouraging more collaboration across teams, and focusing on CI/CD. To build great products we need to understand our customers’ needs and be focused on end-to-end customer experience. My perspective is that it is incredibly important for engineers to spend time with our customers, as well as with our customer-facing employees. To that end, engineers have had the opportunity to visit customers onsite in USA and Europe with over 25 engineers participating (including presenting) at our RhythmWorld customer conference. We have received resounding positive feedback from our customers on the above changes. We have embarked on a phase of significant growth with an exciting multimillion-dollar initiative to innovate on our platform and products, and we are in the process of doubling the size of our engineering organization. This will provide numerous opportunities for growth for our engineering employees including, new roles, new technical experiences, new leadership experiences, and learning from the experiences of new team members. With an eye on innovation, we have increased the time our engineers have to innovate. We have our two week-long hackathons that will gradually open to other functions of the company over time, with sales engineering being the first in our March Hackathon. We also have added time for innovation in our final sprint of every Planning Increment. I value our talented team and look forward to their innovative ideas. Finally, one of my passions is growing an organization and its people. I am a great proponent of providing career opportunity within the engineering organization by both internal promotion and encouraging career moves from other functions of the company into engineering. In the last 8 months we have promoted 22 internal employees in engineering: 8 engineering individual contributor promotions, 6 engineering management promotions, including two directors, and 8 employees from other functions across the company. Change is hard. It can be uncomfortable, unsettling, stressful — and not for everyone. Embracing change and modern technology means being open to the way we work. We are a culture of innovation, continuous improvement, transparency, respect, and integrity. I am committed to the engineering organization’s future and to continuing to advance our engineering innovation, operational and technical excellence, customer focus — and most importantly, the growth of our people and our culture.

      Pros

      -When I started, I would have given LogRhythm a resounding 5 stars. I loved everything about the place. Every day was a new opportunity to learn and engage in an exciting environment and product. I believe the overall rating on Glassdoor has dropped a whole point since then, which is very sad to watch, but historically, it is a great company. The founders are still involved and they are great. -The people that work here are pleasant. -We currently get half days on Fridays, but it hardly makes up for recent negative changes. -Flex time off is nice, but not heavily utilized.

      Cons

      I have written and deleted more Glassdoor reviews than I can count in recent months, but it's time to finally hit "submit". For the record, much of this has been brought up by myself and others many times before posting, but nothing changes. Here goes. Recent MAJOR pay and benefits issues. We will see if they get resolved, but hopes are not high. Attrition has been awful and completely unaddressed for over a year. Lies about backfilling positions are common with no delivery. This has led to further attrition as work gets thrown on the plates of remaining employees who are already overwhelmed. This hurts work-life balance and the product as a whole, which is slipping in areas where it used to be very competitive. There are no lateral options for employees suddenly placed in poorly fitting roles to move to areas where their skills and professional interests would be better utilized, which means there are people unhappy on their teams and unhappy with their career paths. No faith that the execs or Thoma Bravo care about this company at all. They've been told over and over and over what is needed to succeed and ignored nearly every suggestion. Middle management gets swatted like flies when they try to improve things. Sales has unreasonable expectations. The culture has slowly been dismantled. I had shreds of optimism for a long time that things would end up getting better here, but... I don't see it anymore. They don't care. They haven't for awhile. This was an incredible place to work at one point, but the ship is sinking. I could have never imagined I would feel this low about a company I once loved so much. To put it into terms that get the point across. LogRhythm used to be Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Thoma Bravo turned it into Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They proverbially ruined the Indiana Jones we loved in a passionless money grab. I will save whoever normally responds to these reviews a little bit of time if you want to copy and paste the typical response to this feedback. "Sorry you feel that way, but [write excuses here]. We don't acknowledge anything that needs to be improved and will change nothing. Even though this is one of many reviews like this and we hear these things in exit interviews constantly, this is a you problem, not us."

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and I agree that our people are our greatest strength. Certainly, the last 3+ months of a global pandemic and operating largely in a virtual environment has been a big transition, so listening to our employees and being present is even more important now than ever. With that, I’d like to address some of your specific concerns and highlight the many actions we have taken. Employee Feedback I understand you may feel that employee feedback is not addressed, but team members may recall that it was an employee suggestion during an All-Company meeting that we should implement summer half-day Fridays as a ‘thank you’ to the company for sacrifices being made. We acted on the suggestion and it appears to be well received. To address employee questions and concerns after COVID-19 and now with states reopening, we created a work-evolution committee to survey and ensure that we placed our team’s health and safety first. These are some examples to convey that all employee feedback is heard and that it’s acted on when possible. As a current employee, you are aware that I take the time to ensure every employee question and comment is addressed during our company meetings. Attrition and Lateral Moves Any time that we lose a member of the team it hurts. We track this metric closely as an executive team and have active discussions on how we can improve and retain our talent. This includes encouraging our managers to have discussions around career growth, to continuous learning initiatives. Your comment about lateral moves is simply incorrect. We have many examples of supporting employees who want to explore different positions in the company to further their career growth and development. Many of these promotions and transfers happened in the past month. Existing employees are welcome to apply for any of our open positions (https://logrhythm.com/about/careers/). All qualified candidates will be considered. I emphasize that we don’t want to lose a single member of the team and encourage you to apply for internal lateral positions and per our employee handbook. Lastly, Thoma Bravo’s interest in our success is overwhelming and their deep knowledge, experience, and network in cybersecurity benefits us greatly. Running a healthy and stable company is our collective responsibility to ensure the livelihood and wellbeing of each and every LogRhythm employee.
