What makes Hoxhunt a great place to work?
"People here are genuine and this was what I learned already in my interview process. Everyone is respected and trusted. To me that is the most important aspect of great place to work."
– Ville Hämäläinen, Sales, Helsinki
"Hoxhunt is a great place to work because it feels like there's a shared belief that what we're doing is right. It doesn't feel like the company is "in it for the money" but that we actually want to create positive change in the cybersecurity culture of our client organizations. Due to this, I'm happy to get to work each morning and it seems like everyone else is, too."
– Miska Tammenpää, Tech, Helsinki
"You get the chance to work with the brightest minds in one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world while doing work that makes an astonishing impact on a brighter tomorrow."
– Eliott Tallqvist, Marketing, Helsinki
"For me it's always been the coolest possible product. People pay us to trick them (and not for evil!) A perfect combination of education, cyber-security and pop-psychology. It's great! The tech team has great vibes, and I've never really been too stressed. We are allowed to do our job well, and aren't hounded over deadlines."
– Julius Uusinarkaus, Tech, Helsinki
"The people and the culture. Even though as an information security company we cannot afford any mistakes, the internal process for handling mistakes is a healthy one. Everyone makes mistakes, but at Hoxhunt, we don't add insult to injury by playing blame games."
– Julia Kylmälä, Tech, Helsinki
If you are looking for a great team atmosphere, then Hoxhunt is the place to be. Hoxhunt helps organizations protect themselves against cyber threats by training employees to identify and respond to phishing attacks. Employees can take pride in knowing their work makes a difference in the fight against cybercrime. Hoxhunt also gives the ability for you to grow as a professional but allows you to work with other departments and does not keep everyone separated into their department silos.
– Trevin Ray, Customer Success, US
"Not only do I believe in Hoxhunt's mission and overall product, but the CULTURE is incredible. Being an American working for a Finnish company itself is great and has its perks, but Hoxhunt really goes above and beyond. I have never worked for a company that provided such great benefits, work-life-balance, integrity in leadership and product, and genuine care for their employees."
– Hayli Marquette, Sales, US
What are the first things that come to mind when you think about our company culture?
We succeed together. Most important thing in my opinion is that no matter what success we have, we always remember that no one is doing things alone, but there is always multiple teams and people behind the success.
– Ville Hämäläinen, Sales, Helsinki
"Transparency, friendliness, ping pong."
– Miska Tammenpää, Tech, Helsinki
"The team at Hoxhunt is an extremely driven and motivated bunch of individuals that love having fun together both during and outside of work."
– Eliott Tallqvist, Marketing, Helsinki
"I can trust my coworkers, and feel at home here."
– Julius Uusinarkaus, Tech, Helsinki
"Free beef jerky. Also things like 'looking forward, going forward', both in business and in keeping the culture relevant to the times."
– Julia Kylmälä, Tech, Helsinki
"Hoxhunt creates a culture of togetherness, which creates a great team culture. Everyone makes you feel welcome and comfortable from the start. All departments in Hoxhunt are willing to work together to help each other out and make the company succeed."
– Trevin Ray, Customer Success, US
"I am usually in-person in the U.S. office, so these are my thoughts specifically about our Minneapolis office: 1. Respect and appreciation from leadership. 2. The ability to have agency and creativity in my work. 3. Fun banter and general friendliness when it comes to relationships with co-workers. These are thoughts overall about Hoxhunt's company culture: 1. The people's team puts in a lot of work to be inclusive, respectful, and caring. I have only been at Hoxhunt for 5 months, but everyone made me feel very welcome and was always open to helping. 2. Constantly improving / getting feedback from the employees."
– Hayli Marquette, Sales, US
How would you describe your professional (or personal) development while working at Hoxhunt?
"I have been able to develop from 0 cybersecurity sales experience to 1, and this difference is infinite. There is a lot learning still and it has made possible by work itself and also internal & external learning programs."
– Ville Hämäläinen, Sales, Helsinki
I'm a software engineer. This is my first position in the field. In retrospect, I should have gone to some worse place for my first position because now everything else will feel so much worse in comparison.
– Miska Tammenpää, Tech, Helsinki
"I’ve grown tremendously as a product person at Hoxhunt. I’ve had the opportunity to work with the best people in the business who help me grow every day. Especially, the amount of time and help I’ve gotten from my more senior colleagues that have been acting as my mentors is something that I truly appreciate."
– Eliott Tallqvist, Marketing, Helsinki
"I started as an intern in 2020, and have quickly become a really good developer and important part of the community. I started doing recruitment work in 2021, and since then have led projects, small teams and am an important part of the tech team."
– Julius Uusinarkaus, Tech, Helsinki
"For the first time I feel like I'm moving forward without having to fight for every inch. Our supervisors make sure we know we have each been chosen to work here for a reason, and that makes me feel special, and like I can finally be anything I want when I grow up."
– Julia Kylmälä, Tech, Helsinki
"From the onboarding experience in Helsinki at the HQ, Hoxhunt has emphasized employee training and education to the fullest. With being remote in the US, Hoxhunt makes sure that we have resources and tools to have your development through your Hoxhunt career. Also, Hoxhunt allows you to work with other departments and expand your skills in other areas of the company."
– Trevin Ray, Customer Success, US
"While being in sales, self development (in your professional and personal skill) is required to be successful. Putting that aside, leadership is always fostering development - giving tools, feedback, and advice on how to develop. My co-workers and I have great relationship when it comes to bouncing ideas off each other and helping each other be successful in our role. This being my first role in cybersecurity, I am constantly learning and growing, whether it is from weekly Friday Demos, internal meetings, or articles shared over Slack. It seems everyone wants to be up-to-date and constantly learning!"
– Hayli Marquette, Sales, US
To whom would you recommend Hoxhunt?
"Anyone interested in human side of cybersecurity."
– Ville Hämäläinen, Sales, Helsinki
"Anyone who's even remotely interested in cybersecurity. In fact, you don't even have to be interested in it; if you value cybersecurity at all, Hoxhunt is a good fit for you."
– Miska Tammenpää, Tech, Helsinki
Hoxhunt is the right place if you want to grow both personally and professionally in a rapid pace by taking on new challenges every day.
– Eliott Tallqvist, Marketing, Helsinki
"At least for any developer that wants to be part of making the coolest product ever!"
– Julius Uusinarkaus, Tech, Helsinki
"Anyone open-minded and playful, who is looking for a place to be loyal to - it comes easy at Hoxhunt."
– Julia Kylmälä, Tech, Helsinki
"I would recommend someone to Hoxhunt who wants to be part of a great start-up company culture and likes being part of a team working towards the same goals."
– Trevin Ray, Customer Success, US
"I would recommend Hoxhunt to anyone in the U.S. particularly. It is rare to find a company that genuinely cares for their employees and treats them as well as Hoxhunt does (maybe in Finland / the nordics that isn't as applicable). I would also recommend a career in sales at Hoxhunt to people who want to contribute to an emerging market in cybersecurity and human behavior and those who are self-motivated and want to succeed beyond just a quota."
– Hayli Marquette, Sales, US
Is there anything else you'd like to share about working at Hoxhunt?
"Shoutouts to the sparkling water tap at the office."
– Miska Tammenpää, Tech, Helsinki
"Free beef jerky."
– Julia Kylmälä, Tech, Helsinki
I am still blown away by how great our product is, in practice and in theory. Hoxhunt's founders and leaders really want to have the best product and really deeply care about the success of our customers. I find that to be rare in SaaS and growing tech companies. Being one of the first SDRs in the U.S. it has been incredible to serve a huge role in Hoxhunt's success and I can't wait to see us go from a little office to dominating in the market. I am very proud to work for Hoxhunt and very grateful to be here.
