Pros

Many good and hard-working people and cool mission.

Cons

My advice to anyone looking to join is to read all the reviews. You’ll find truth in the positive and the negative ones. I wish I would have put more weight on the negative ones before deciding to join. Fear culture is an understatement. Mistrust and CYA permeate within the culture. You can speak up as long as it is aligned with leadership. If you are a leader, be prepared to go backwards in your career, not by title but by the work you’ll be tasked with doing. No clear strategy other than to meet the revenue target. Priorities are not aligned across the organization and frequently change with no rhyme or reason and without giving enough time to be successful. Executives are not aligned often creating friction throughout the organization. The CEO puts his investment in fancy office buildings versus people. Recent mandate to return to office 5 days a week. If diversity and inclusion are important to you, this is not the place for you. I could write my entire review focused here but will just leave it at that. The top 2 HR leaders who were trying to make a positive impact both left the company.

Pros

In my 8 months of interning at OPSWAT, the work culture stood out like no other. From the first day I was greeted and welcomed by several people around the office. I always looked forward to team/office lunches and playing ping pong with my peers. I was also able to take on important projects and regularly meet with customers and prospects. Lastly, everyone wants you to succeed, and as an intern everyone is willing to help you grow. I have learned so much throughout my two sessions as a Product Manager Intern. I would recommend this position and OPSWAT to anyone as it is a great place to work.

Cons

I have no cons at all.

Pros

• Dedicated employees who are committed to the company’s success. • Opportunity to take ownership of meaningful work and make a visible impact. • Exposure to a growing cybersecurity company with a global presence. • Employees are trusted with significant responsibility and autonomy.

Cons

• Environment is heavily influenced by the CEO’s leadership style, which may not be a fit for everyone. It can be really intense. • Employees may be reluctant to raise concerns or challenge leaders out of fear. • PTO and holiday benefits are less competitive than those offered by many similarly sized companies. The limited amount of time off can make it challenging for employees to recharge and maintain long-term work-life balance.
