Job Security Can Be Hit or Miss

Working at Entrust was a mixed bag, honestly. Job security really depends on where you land in the company. Some teams are rock solid, others are a bit shaky.


Pros

The core products are super stable, which is good for job security. If you're working on the main identity and access management solutions, especially as a Software Engineer, things feel pretty solid. It's a big player in the cybersecurity industry, so there's usually work.


Cons

But some areas get cut pretty quick. Projects can get canceled without much warning, which can be tough. I've seen teams shrink if their product isn't hitting targets, even in the Ottawa office. Doesn't feel secure everywhere.


Advice to Management

Be more transparent about project longevity and potential team changes. It helps employees feel more secure about their roles and careers here.

Pay's Okay, Benefits Need a Boost Here
Pros: Base salary for my senior software engineer position was solid, no complaints there. The 401k match is a good perk, helps with long-term planning. It's a stable corporate job, which is nice.
Cons: Health insurance costs feel high, and the coverage isn't super amazing. The annual bonus wasn't always clear or as generous as I've seen with other digital security firms. It's just okay, not great.
Advice to Management: Really look into those health insurance premiums; they're a bit much. Also, try to make the bonus structure more predictable and impactful for employees. It'll help keep good people.

Career Growth is a Bit Slow Here
Pros: As a Software Engineer working remote from Texas, I've had some good chances to learn new cybersecurity skills. There's access to online training platforms. My manager was supportive of me pursuing industry certifications.
Cons: Promotions are tough to get unless you really push for them. It's a pretty corporate environment, so career progression can feel slow. Not much structured mentorship available for technical roles beyond your direct team.
Advice to Management: Focus on creating clearer paths for career advancement, especially for technical roles. A formal mentorship program would help retain talent and provide better growth opportunities.

Okay for stability, tough for career moves
Pros: You get solid experience working on cybersecurity solutions, which is great for the resume. The benefits package is decent, and the hybrid work model offers good flexibility. As a Software Engineer, the work itself can be interesting, just not always challenging enough for growth.
Cons: Career growth opportunities are pretty scarce here, especially for those in mid-level roles. It's hard to move up, and promotions feel super slow or non-existent. There isn't a clear path for advancing your digital identity skills within the company.
Advice to Management: Management really needs to focus on creating clearer career paths and investing in employee development. Give people more chances to grow internally and offer real opportunities to advance their skills, not just lateral moves.
