Some staff did not receive a pay raise at TunnelBear for over 3 years as a result of the acquistion for instance, which is simply not good business, especially in Toronto where inflation is WILD these days. It is difficult to get them to pay for tools the team needs, and they have a skeleton crew for an operational/HR team, meaning that pay raises, hiring, and all non-revenue generating initiatives are not being prioritized at all. This follows as McAfee is an extremely penny-pinching and poorly-run outfit that is reactionary and cold at the best of times. At every turn they have made things worse for TunnelBear, from cutting budget for fun activities, to limiting pay raises/promotions and even laying TunnelBear staff off with 0 notice (at Director levels no less!). They were bought out by McAfee in 2018 and McAfee really bungled the acquisition. It should be called out that TunnelBear is NOT an independent company (or a startup by any means). The cons for TunnelBear are numerable, but they are not TunnelBear's fault for the most part.
