Pros

- Used to be a great company for technical engineers, with employee focussed policy which is no longer true. It was good while it lasted. - No Pro's as of now!

Cons

- Sadly, you need to be friends with Sam(Founder), Jono(Product), Nick (Tech. sales/ThreatOps head) or at least have their blessing, if you plan to stick around. - End of 2024 / start of 2025 saw a rapid decline due to major restructuring which involved firing a lot of staff, right from senior leadership (Director of Engineering) to C level execs ( CTO / CMO / CFO), down to senior engineers in Engineering/Customer Support. - Work culture also went down the drain, every all hands meet/Monday in the Slack #company-announcement channel there is news of who has been fired/let go/made redundant. - Sad part is leadership cooks up all sorts of silly reasons/lies for why employees left, rather than telling the truth (Eg: personal sabbatical, etc) - They also mention sometimes that this is a one time decision but can no longer use that excuse as it has already been used so many times (even though people can see right through it). - Diversity in hiring is sad, they rarely hire women engineers. - Those who are currently with the company are already planning their exit.

Pros

Kasada is a fantastic place to work! The people at Kasada are very dedicated, smart, supportive, and collaborative. The technology is constantly evolving to stay ahead of the market. I love that the founder and leadership team genuinely care about us and actively help drive the company’s growth. We're in an exciting stage with lots of momentum, and it feels great to be part of a company that’s making such a big impact.

Cons

Rapid growth comes with challenges and a greater need for process.

Pros

- The product challenges the status quo in the anti-bot market and is fun to learn and see in action. - Compensation in the US is better than other startups. - If you're lucky you'll run into some really smart people that you will have fun solving problems with. - Sam, their CEO, is a total legend. If you get to work directly with him, that's ideal.

Cons

- Toxic leadership and management. The power struggle was evident during my time at Kasada. - Overampliciation of loud voices. They'll often promote and praise those who have the most visibility in ther roles, and sideline those who don't. - Toxic teammates that are looking to sabotage you through peer reviews (yes there are no KPIs, you are judged subjectively). - Lack of AI readiness. The leadership team is laughably bad at adapting, or even accepting opinions from others about AI. - Benefits simply do not compare to other startups of similar size and success. Compensation is all you'll get here.
