Pros
Great start for a security engineer to start a career, working with global companies and understanding if this is your industry of start.
Cons
Working here can be incredibly challenging, largely due to the CEO's management style. There is an overwhelming amount of micromanagement—something that, in 2024, is a serious red flag for any workplace. You might find yourself out of a job within the first week or two if the CEO doesn't see a "spark" in you right away. Unfortunately, there's little understanding that some processes take time—weeks or even months—to set up properly. Instead, there's an expectation that everything should happen in a matter of days. They may hire you for your expertise and ideas, but once you're in, they question everything you know. Instead of being allowed to implement your proven methods, you're forced to adopt their approach, which often doesn’t work. This creates a constant feeling of doubt, leaving you questioning your own abilities. The CEO’s opinion is the only one that matters here. Your input? It's often dismissed or treated as irrelevant because, apparently, the CEO knows better about everything. There’s this unspoken expectation that you should just be grateful to have the job. No matter how much you achieve or how much money you generate for the company, if the CEO decides that he wants you out, you're out. Long-lasting results or not, today could be your last day without warning. Working here is particularly hard because the founder is involved in every single department—HR, finance, content, engineering, sales, marketing—you name it. It's difficult to do your job effectively when the CEO believes in knowing everything.
