Pros

Doing work to protect against identity fraud is noble and can solve for many difficult world problems.

Cons

Complete lack of business acumen and money management, no OKRs or other metrics used to make and measure business decisions, inability to prioritize, several "pet projects" that come and go and seem like egregious whims of trust fund babies, pulling attention and resources from the actual problems they are trying to solve. Even though most roles are supposed to be remote/hybrid, there is pressure to make the long commute into the office, despite several COVID outbreaks that occurred there over the past six months. Nepotism, sexism, and unchecked egos run rampant, and although they claim inclusivity the vast majority of employees are white males, including all but one of C-suite. This isn't just start-up growing pains - it's the poster child of what poor leadership looks like in tech.

Challenging regulatory environment and enterprise offering make it hard to obtain new clients, quickly.

Pros

Remote work, low expectations, stock options, benefits

Cons

Racism, sexism, ableism There is a reason every time they lay people off or someone leaves for the awful environment it is often a minority and the company has become more and more homogeneous as time has gone on.
