Of the four startups I've worked for over my career, I've enjoyed ThreatSwitch the most. Here's why:
- Great people. The company is built around EQ. Listening, being where needed, and helping one another are core values
- The product solves an actual problem, and there's an actual market for it
- Leadership is honest and transparent about numbers, strategy, etc.
- The tech stack is solid, secure, and isn't full of legacy code
- We continue to make good hires
- It's 100% remote
Cons
- If you're hoping for free snacks, ping-pong tables, nap pods, waterslides, or whatever other trappings of Silicon Valley startup culture, this isn't for you. It's a lean startup by design, and will most likely stay that way
- Great tight-knit team with diverse talent
- Opportunities to make a real impact, freedom to influence and take responsibility for the product from end to end, working on the full stack
- Good development culture with a healthy balance between pragmatism and perfection
- A genuine focus on a great work-life balance, with flexible, remote working
- Pleasant working environment in a high spec modern office within a Georgian Manor house
