What is the best part of working at the company?
Free food pantry was a good perk. The team collaboration was good, you get to learn a lot if you absorb information at the rate they want you to.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The inconsistency in management support was the biggest source of stress. Training quality varied significantly. Being redirected to an in-house AI tool instead of receiving hands-on guidance set me back significantly early on. Equipment requests that should have been standard (a third monitor, a monitor stand) went ignored for 1-2 weeks, only resolved through the goodwill of a coworker. Mistakes that were never once raised in real time suddenly became the official termination justification. Multiple firings and a resignation within my immediate area alone made it clear that job security was never really on the table.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture had a lot of potential on paper, free food, a collaborative team (the teamwork was genuenly good), and there is genuinely talented people in this position you can reach out to. In practice though, there was a clear inner circle dynamic. Favoritism was visible and affected resource allocation, shift assignments, and how performance was evaluated. Transparency from leadership was minimal; decisions felt top-down and final, with little room for dialogue. Being open about personal challenges like management encourages was met with what felt like indifference at best and scrutiny at worst.

This is a great start if you want to a career in cybersecurity. But I wouldn't stay long-term, you get a sense of distrust right when you step foot on site. The energy of, you can only trust ceratin people to a certain extent, but with other they can and will backstab you to management the second they get a chance too. There's a sense of cliques that form and if you don't establish yourself as one of them, they will try to outcast you. Some people are willing to help and go out of their way to help, with others they don't really try to and try to push you out if they could. Coming from an industry where I needed to read people on the spot, it made it that much easier to read people. There's also a very strong sense of high turnover. Although there will usually be that one person that will cause issues, it seems there is a very subtle and indirect way of how things are ran here that is very heavliy dictated by office politics. There is a feeling of alot of assumptions rather than asking for clarification. If there is a misunderstanding, it is okay to ask clarification to understand different points of views.

I worked at ThreatLocker as a Security Analyst and my experience was dominated by instability at the leadership level. During my time there, my direct manager was fired, my manager’s manager was also fired, and the department head went through a major reorganization that reshuffled the structure repeatedly. As part of that restructuring, multiple Security Analysts were let go. The constant changes made it hard to feel secure in the role or confident in the direction of the team.

The people on my immediate team were genuinely great—smart, helpful, and easy to work with. Unfortunately, the management structure and the way decisions were made (and remade) created a frustrating environment overall.

The day-to-day work is very repetitive and screen-heavy. It’s a high-volume alert queue with a high influx of customer calls, so it feels more like a customer service role than what many people expect from “Security Analyst” work. You can take short breaks during your shift, but the pace is constant and the workload is largely the same tasks over and over.

I would not work here again and would not recommend it to others. In my experience, the organization felt poorly managed, and the product itself was unreliable far too often for a company in this space.

I was terminated after just 2 weeks for making a mistake that was never covered in the minimal training provided. Instead of coaching me or explaining how to avoid the error in the future, management chose immediate termination. This aligns with other reviews mentioning their 'hire fast, fire faster' approach. Any professional company would provide proper training and use progressive discipline. The lack of investment in employee development shows they view people as disposable. Would not recommend to anyone looking for a stable workplace that actually develops talent.

Advice to Management:
Invest in proper training programs and progressive discipline. Firing new employees for mistakes not covered in training is poor management and expensive for the company.

There is a lot of positive things to say about ThreatLocker. Especially the product. You can make really good money in sales, but its not an easy sell. You’ll travel a lot and you’ll feel overworked at times, (sometimes they will make you fly overnight and expect you to be there first thing in the morning, no extra pay), and you need to be prepared to get fired as soon as you have a downtime, even if you have good things coming down the line, even if you did ok beforehand. They would rather fire you and train someone new than make you better to have a stronger sales team. It’s a young company so everything changes constantly. No sick time, just PTO and even if you’re sick you can’t ever work remotely even if you’re willing and available. Never expect to get a bonus, don’t even bother trying. The CEO will come up with new hoops to jump through every quarter to make sure it’s impossible for you to get one. You need to be ok with foul language because that’s just the way managers talk. 

You're working with 20 and 30-somethings on a fast-paced schedule and very intense learning curves. Culture is pretty cool and they'll reward and retain the best performers. They do provide nice perks for employees but work-life balance could be better...expect overtime. Outstanding product line I was proud to represent and support but everyone was just too stressed out all the time. Wasn't the best fit for me personally but I'd recommend to others. Bring your A-game.

A startup company has its needs to achieve its goals but still needs to work on. the CEO is always around talking to employees but sometimes he talks to very specific employees that leave others out the Str role all you do is call from a list of potential clients that your manager will give out and then you do your 175 to 200 calls and if you're in a dialer they expect 300. All in all it's a good place to work but this rule can be done at home


There is no job security with this company. Toxic work environment from CEO on down. Benefits are meh. Marketing as B2C company that masquerades as B2B.

It's a fast paced culture where you are expected to work hard. 
They have goals that are not easy to hit but pays very well when you do. 
This is truly a company that 8s what you make of it.

High stress fast passed eniornment. Processes that are in place are way to manual. Cursing and inappropriate jokes said in the office by upper management and c-suites. Minimum work life balance, no sick time, no availability to work remote unless you are in there good graces.
