Pros

None really, at most the pay.

Cons

Just overall horrible place to work. Their HR is the worst. They also keep cutting benefits. Don’t bother working here! Tom keeps bragging they are expanding, growing and hiring. Why? Because they laid off a bunch of people for no true, valid reason, and many more are leaving due to many toxic factors. That isn’t job growth, that is trouble! I made a mistake being sold by them to leave my last job for this one! Again...Don’t bother!

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
