Pluspunten

Very intelligent people and an awesome rise at one point

Minpunten

What a disgraceful ending to what could have been a career changing opportunity for many. You can point fingers in every direction but the product was garbage and the 2021 executive changes were ultimately what sank the company. Following the acquisition Lacework decided to return $0 to former employees who exercised their ISOs.. i.e. the team who built and scaled the company from $1m-$90m in revenue. All while paying the investors, c-suite, and current employees who helped tank the company a nice premium. The C-Suite as it stands today is the worst I've seen in my 25+ year career. Soulless, directionless, tone deaf leaders steering a zombie business in whatever direction the wind blows. SHV brand has been ruined in the process. Lead investor saying "I'd die before this company fails!" on an all hands call, then taking Lacework off of his LinkedIn profile, is all you need to know about the company/culture/product that is Lacework. Good luck trying to replicate the Snowflake growth model across your portfolio.

Pluspunten

I've thoroughly enjoyed my tenure here for a few reasons: the people, the product, and the cross functional competency. The SE team is one of the best I've worked on with lots of knowledge in varying areas, a focus on sales methods, and a willingness to assist. The product continues to be built from the ground up. This allows for a more fluid integrated backend. I thank the engineering team for their resilience to build better always. This is the first work environment where I feel I can reach out to anyone at any level and have a candid conversation where we both walk away learning something. The product team is always here to listen and qualify customer demands.

Minpunten

The last couple years has had it's challenges with folks leaving and the sales team underperforming. There have been times where launches miss there dates. The partner ecosystem could be better and middle management is lacking in leadership skills and energy.
