After how many years will Lacework have an IPO? Considering a good offer from them. All the Engineers and EMs are top-notch from Meta, G and other FAANG level companies. They are more focused on bottom-line than top-line which kinda surprises me as start-ups focus more on growth. Also, does lacework have any big customers. Someone told me they are more into SMB. In my next role I am looking for following three things rather than wlb: 1. Career Growth i.e. going into EM role in 2-3 years 2. Rewards (more bonus, options) for smart/hard-work 3. Increased exposure to Cloud (AWS, GCP etc) TC: 265k YOE: 7 #lacework #faang #meta #google #amazon #aws #microsoft #crowdstrike #sysdig #paloaltonetworks
Never. They will never IPO. Acquisition will likely happen but not where you will benefit as an employee.
I don’t think they will ever IPO as well
Most engineers are not from FAANG. Those people are only recent hires and did not build the systems or design the architecture. I think they are mostly in SRE and are not building the product.
Recruiting just tells people that we're all ex-FAANG to entice them to join. It's insulting to those of us who have been here since before the meta takeover and laid the foundations. Plus, being good at LC does not equate to being effective at growing a startup.
who voted 2023? lol
2024?
Do they offer Buy-Back of vested options?
Do they offer buy-back of vested options?
+1 for lacework eng leadership being top notch.
Acquisition more likely although i have no idea who would acquire them. Cisco or Salesforce maybe?
Salesforce is using Wiz
Lot of competition
So @Siri-man did you join or reject the offer?
Didn’t they have a bunch of layoffs a few months ago? I have at least two friends that weee affected.
No layoffs in the tech org
