Pros
Catered lunches, younger workforce, cool office The culture of the company is actually pretty neat. The front line employees really do care for Baltimore and are trying to make the world a better place.
Cons
ZeroFOX always hires for leadership from outside the organization giving no way for current employees to move up, and frequently hires kids right out of school at very low salaries. They do generally offer stock options, but refuse to share how much equity employees have. Even current employees don't know how many outstanding shares there are, which makes the stock option grant offers pretty worthless. The company values are awesome, but most are just lip service and marketing fluff. The leadership cares little for company values and sees them as a way to motivate the workforce, not as standards to live by. The company talks about being transparent with employees, but most of the communication I saw from upper management on the health of the company or plans moving forward were red herrings focusing on worthless metrics to distract from the real problems in the organization. A lot of effort is spent trying to put a pretty face on systemic problems, especially when investors are planning on coming into town. ZeroFOX is very executive heavy. They pitch the company as being flexible and cool, but it's very much of a bait and switch. James Foster, the founder and CEO is also one of the coldest and most unethical people I have ever met. He is very warm and friendly until you actually start working for him.
