Pros

There are no pros here. Haven’t been for a long time

Kontras

I haven't bothered to leave a review here but was saddened (but not surprised) at their recent attempts to spread disinformation here and other places like LinkedIn. More than a month after the nth layoff (hard to even keep count anymore), it has now become abundantly clear to everyone that it's all over now. The very low morale and level of disillusionment have reached new lows. Some of the very few people who used to have their cameras on for zoom meetings, I've noticed even they have turned them off now. Attempts at work related conversations inevitably tail off with someone saying - what's the point now anyway? There’ve been some people who have been here mainly because of inertia - not wanting to go through the trouble of finding another job. Even they have now urgently started job hunting. We all know not much time is left. As for the executive team and other political actors in senior management, I expect they will ride this gravy train to the end. It is not that they have the skills to find something else on their own anyway. The management continues to be indifferent and tone deaf to the awful working conditions, the ever increasing amount of load being placed on the people left to get stuff done "on time". They are not capable enough to understand the technical difficulties nor do they care how overworked and overwhelmed the people are who do the actual work. Yet their demands are relentless, the lectures never ending. The CEO has filled the executive team with his pals. The CRO is doing the same in Sales. None of these jobs are advertised. We just get emails that so and so has been appointed to this title and how wonderful their past achievements are. So much for "transparency"

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.

Kontras

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.

Pros

Once upon a time you could say you worked with some interesting tech. But it’s hopelessly obsolete now. It’s like saying in 2026 that you are working with MS-DOS.

Kontras

This is clearly the last stage of the years of turbulence. - The CRO quit (the latest in a long series of failed ones). - The CFO also said bye bye. - There have been a slew of other high profile departures, especially in customer facing roles. All of this exodus in a very short amount of time. Whatever little hope we had of hanging on to the remaining customers, are pretty much gone now. But the CEO and his pals are all still firmly in place. In fact one of them was recently officially promoted to CPO. Gotta have that title to help get the next job when Contrast fails. Of course the extra $$$ doesn't hurt. The CEO announced this internally and externally, without the slightest hint of shame. All the while people who have spent years building up and sustaining this company through sheer talent and dedication are being regularly given the pink slip. Just when you thought this company couldn't stoop any lower, you are proved wrong, again and again. Because one thing never changes here: sociopathy.
