Seraphic Security Reviews

The CEO's leadership is characterized by persistent emotional manipulation and a deep-seated distrust of employees. With a background as the CEO of a news website rather than a tech startup, he has not adapted his management style to suit a dynamic tech environment. This results in frequent belittling, unfounded suspicion, and manipulative tactics directed at engineers. For instance, taking sick leave often leads to accusations like, "I know you weren't really sick." He treats developers as easily replaceable, contributing to high turnover—most engineers quit or are fired within less than a year. As a major stakeholder, he is unlikely to be replaced, perpetuating these issues. The CTO, while a skilled researcher, lacks any hands-on experience in product development or as a developer. His communication style veers into unprofessional territory, including public outbursts, screaming, and name-calling during company meetings. This combination of inexperience, arrogance, manipulation, and distrust from leadership fosters a toxic, unproductive workplace that stifles innovation and morale.

Lack of communication from management tp employees. Company's goals/KPI's are unclear.
