Pros

One of the unique things about PQShield is the genuinely great culture. Many companies struggle with this and have to resort to gimmicks to hide the underlying issues, but at PQShield, the family culture comes directly from the CEO's values and care for his team. We all work hard and put a lot in, but we are solving a really important and exciting problem, and know we are having an impact. It is great to be surrounded by such smart and devoted people who love what they do. Performance is all about outcomes and not number of hours, and things are really flexible. There is also a really generous holiday policy with shutdown weeks as well as normally holiday allowance.

Cons

Hard to think of any specifically. It's rare to have an employer that can offer all three of exciting work, good career prospects and fair compensation. PQShield is delivering that for me at the moment.

Pros

Pioneering and Impactful Work: It's incredibly rewarding to be at the forefront of post-quantum cryptography. We are not just building software and hardware; we are helping to shape global standards and protect critical infrastructure from a very real, looming threat. World-Class Team: The expertise here is unparalleled. Working alongside some of the world's leading cryptographers, researchers, and engineers is a constant learning experience. Strong and Open Culture: PQShield's culture is truly one of its greatest strengths. Leadership is transparent and supports our professional growth. Excellent Benefits: The company shows it values its employees with great benefits, including competitive salaries, share options, and a generous holiday policy that includes two company-wide "wellness weeks" in the summer and winter. The annual offsite is a fantastic way to connect with colleagues from around the world.

Cons

As a high-growth, pioneering company, the pace can be fast. However, the team and management are very supportive, and the work is so engaging that it rarely feels like too much of a burden.
