Pluspunten

Good benefits and really nice people. Office is decent and feeling of the office is very much a family. Good unlimited time off policy. I really enjoy working with many of the people I work with on a regular basis. Great work life balance. Great to be part of a company that is growing as fast as we are. CEO is very smart and when focused can be a great leader.

Minpunten

Definitely not top tier talent and it is very clear many senior people have position because of relationships and not skill. Very fast growing but that means weakness in leadership is showing more and more. Way too much focus on friends and partying then results or who is actually getting results. Pay is low to very low for most positions.

Pluspunten

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Minpunten

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pluspunten

Had some great coworkers during my time at MWB/TD, manager was always very encouraging, and pay was good

Minpunten

Outdated technology stack. The platform is built on legacy foundations, and modernization efforts haven't kept pace with the market. Leadership lacks domain depth. Many senior leaders don't have deep cybersecurity or IT backgrounds, which makes it difficult for them to set a clear product vision, read where the market is heading, or chart a credible path to get there. This was supposed to be a cyber company, but outside of the MDR team, that expertise is thin at the top. Good ideas die quietly. I brought forward multiple product ideas that were blocked repeatedly with the rationale that the company is "device-centric, not user-centric." That framing felt disconnected from what the market actually demands. Priorities shift without communication. Strategic direction changed several times during my tenure, but product was rarely looped in ahead of those shifts. I'd learn about new priorities after the fact, with no context on why things changed. Attrition goes unaddressed. There were multiple rounds of quiet layoffs and a steady stream of voluntary departures. Leadership never paused to examine why people were leaving or to share any explanation with the remaining team. The expectation was simply to carry on as if nothing had happened. Bottom line: A challenging culture, unclear leadership direction, and a product that isn't showing up on shortlists where competitors are winning deals. I'd encourage prospective candidates to ask hard questions before joining.
