Pros

I have enjoyed working at Drata more than any other company I’ve been a part of. It’s really exciting to be a part of a company that is growing so fast and really is making a difference in people’s lives. I respect and enjoy working with my boss; best boss I’ve ever had. Drata considers the whole person, not just as employees. I’ve never been denied PTO and people regularly take advantage of the package. The customer problems are difficult to solve which makes them really fun to work on! And the people here are so respectful and kind, while also pushing each other to do our very best work.

Cons

There are constant pivots at Drata in many areas, often in process and the details of our strategy. Leadership typically doesn’t handle pivots very gracefully, and doesn’t handle change management very well either. However, these pivots have often proven to be helpful and necessary for the business. The other thing that’s tough is that it’s unclear how to advance in your career to the next level up.

Pros

Drata’s remote first culture attracts many talented engineers across the globe. It’s amazing to be able to work with people from almost every continent and feel like you are all in the same virtual room. There are lots of opportunities to mentor and learn especially given the unique product requirements and timing around the rise of AI.

Cons

Being part of a startup is always chaotic and challenging. Some people thrive while others struggle to keep up. That’s the name of the game.

Pros

Smart, hardworking people who genuinely care about doing good work. Meaningful product with strong early-market relevance. Opportunities for growth and scope if you’re willing to take on responsibility. Historically competitive benefits and flexibility (though this has changed recently)

Cons

Increasing disconnect between leadership decisions and on-the-ground reality. Rapid layering of senior “enterprise-grade” leaders before the org, processes, and product are fully ready for that level of structure. Frequent policy and benefit changes that feel like clawbacks rather than evolution, which has created uncertainty and trust erosion. Inconsistent messaging around flexibility and location, including pressure to relocate or commute despite prior expectations. A growing sense that optics and control are being prioritized over execution and outcomes
