Tenable

The only reason anyone stays at this company is because they get to work from home, or because it doesn't require any security clearance. Everyone on my team was actively seeking new employment or simply riding it out until the company sinks. My own boss at one point told me that the only reason anyone was there was because of the health insurance, or some stubborn sense of loyalty. That is a pretty miserable state of affairs. Sincerely, the only pro is that eventually you won't have to work there anymore.

If you are an engineer, your skills will atrophy while you are here. I am a frontend developer. I work with JavaScript. Eighty percent of my two-plus years at this company was spent writing automation tests in Python. That is not an exaggeration.

The week before I left this gong show, I discovered that literally zero of these tests had actually been running in our build plans. Hours and hours and hours of several engineers' time was completely wasted, while a few good ol' boy managers covered each other's rear ends on what was really going on.

I had a family member in critical condition at a hospital several hours' drive away. I had spent one afternoon planning with my family who would watch the kids, who would take care of the pets, and who would go visit at what times. I missed approximately four hours of work for this. The next day, when informed my boss, she replied, "Is the automation done yet?"

This was probably the most disgusting thing anyone has ever said to me in a workplace. I immediately knew it was time to find a new job, and I didn't really care to hide my anger. This led to me being put on a PIP, and about three days later, I got an email with no message in it, simply a termination notice form attached.

Keep it classy over there, Tenable. Your reputation is growing.

Congratulations, guys. You got what you wanted.

Everyone good at this company has moved on or completely resents you and has no loyalty.

My advice is to take some time off to remember, until you remember what it's like to be a human being.
