Pros

Best in class tech. Visionary solutions that are really a game changer for solving application security once and for all. Great teams that work hard on taking it to the next level and to the market.

Cons

The company tries to be independent from investors and streamlined cost a lot. There are many frustrated ex-Contrasters out there writing bad reviews - I can understand their frustration, but those who are still there are great people and form a great company. I am confident that we‘ll change app sec together.

Pros

Exciting Vision & Renewed Focus: The company has undergone significant changes, but the new leadership is steering us in the right direction. The focus on IAST and ADR as key solutions is a game-changer for application security. Transparency & Culture Shift: Management has made a real effort to be more transparent and bring back the startup energy that made this company great in the first place. Passionate & Talented Team: Despite the challenges, the passion among employees is returning. The people who remain are dedicated, talented, and genuinely want to see the company succeed. Opportunities for Impact: With a more focused product direction, employees have a real chance to shape the future of appsec and work on cutting-edge security solutions.

Cons

Layoff Aftermath: The layoffs were tough on morale, and the company is still recovering. Some employees are struggling with the rapid changes. Execution Needs to Catch Up to Vision: While the vision is exciting, there’s still work to be done in executing it effectively and ensuring everyone is aligned. Shifting Priorities: With a history of trying multiple products across SAST, IAST, Serverless, and SCA, some employees are feeling uncertain about the long-term roadmap and what success looks like.
