Pros

Core business of PKI and certificates is a cash cow. Company has been around for a while and has a lot of customers who renew. Generally an easy sales motion if you are engaged with your customer. Support and service is very good. Customers generally renew and good opportunity to upsell them exists. Company hired new CEO last fall. He has brought in a lot of energy and high growth mindset, pushing new products and changes which are needed but the company is not accustomed to. Our overall brand and visibility has improved. Lots of focus on execution and pace has picked up. When I joined 2 years back there weren't new products, now we have a lot more to sell. Company is investing in hiring, new offices, etc.

Cons

Big changes were implemented in the sales organization. We had 2 separate teams that were combined. Some of the accounts I had nurtured were assigned to others. Gained some, lost some. Lots of new systems. Need more enablement on new products.

Pros

DigiCert has an amazing culture with a ton of great people who are always willing to collaborate and band together to achieve a common goal. I feel I have the tools, support, autonomy, and resources to succeed in my role and make a positive business impact.

Cons

There is definitely areas of opportunity when it comes to building for scale and breaking down operational silos as DigiCert continues to grow as an organization.

Pros

I have loved my team and manager since day 1. I stay because DigiCert continues to provide me with professional development opportunities. I began as a file clerk and now manage a team doing complex operational efficiency work. They supported me through an MBA and each year I take at least one course and attend at least one industry event to help expand my skill and reach. The pay is average, BUT when you add in the value of the above-average benefits, the total remuneration package is great.

Cons

DigiCert is owned by Private Equity. If you have not worked for a PE portfolio company before, it means they focus solely on making money and stripping out what they deem as fluff (which I deem as retention levers, like company parties and swag).
