Lacework Reviews

- draconian surveillance tactics to ensure employees are spending 8 hours plus at their computers - extreme focus on daily metrics leads to gaming by employees and punitive measures by management - reps told during interview process that they'll be focused on large enterprise/major accounts, but actually assigned commercial/mid-market accounts upon starting job, as Lacework product is not ready for the large enterprise yet - 20% of company laid off because Lacework consistently missing it's quarterly number; bottom line: very few reps are closing deals and most deals rely on tremendous discounting due to lack of differentiation and demonstrated value - product is absolutely NOT differentiated in a crowded market: messaging and functionality identical to numerous competitors - primary investor (Sutter Hill Ventures) had one flash-in-the-pan major success (Snowflake) and is trying to replicate that here. One needs only look at the massive layoff that was just conducted to see how that's going for them - culture of fear fostered by executive "leadership;" discrimination (and racist epithets) common and ignored - NOBODY IS SELLING ANYTHING!!! Do not give up your earning potential at your current job, or other promising companies, as the likelihood of you making commission dollars here are MINISCULE - losing deals to better-adjusted competitors across the board - losing existing customers like crazy; customer churn is worse than I've seen anywhere, as is employee churn This place is a dumpster fire. I'm out as soon as I find a place

An incompetent executive team not grounded in reality. Ruthless leaders who fired employees on the third day of newly hired training and rescinded the offers who were about to join in a few days
