How Cyera Does It: 95% Employee Satisfaction While Growing Insanely Fast

Can a company grow like a rocket and still have people who actually enjoy being there?

I first encountered Cyera when I did management workshops for them. And I couldn't believe what I saw: a group of people growing their company at a completely ridiculous pace — and at the same time, genuinely kind, patient, and pleasant with each other.

Usually it's one or the other.

Either you have a warm company culture but the growth is nothing special. Or the growth is insane but people can't stand each other anymore.

Cyera is the fastest-growing cybersecurity company in the world in its niche (data security). Valued at over $6 billion, it grew from 50 to 1,000 people in two years — while multiplying revenue 26x.

And in their engagement survey? 95% of employees reported satisfaction.

How is that even possible?

Usually that kind of growth brings frustration, waves of early employees leaving, and chaos that takes years to fix.

So I brought in Sharon Shaked — the person leading their people function — to explain the magic.

Turns out you can do both. It's not easy. But it's possible.

(Anyone who tells you it's easy has never actually been there. Tfu tfu tfu.)
