A once great place is now mind numbing and depressing - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Drata

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.

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.

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)

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
